Forty-two Israelis who attended the Nova music festival near the Gaza border that was attacked on October 7 have sued the Israeli security establishment for failing to protect the event.
The lawsuit filed a claim for $56 million against Israel’s Shin Bet security agency, the Israeli Defense Forces, the Defense Ministry, and the Israeli Police and says the agencies’ “negligence and the gross oversight” allowed the Hamas attack on the festival to happen.
“A single phone call by IDF officials to the commander responsible for the party to disperse it immediately in view of the expected danger would have saved lives and prevented the physical and mental injuries of hundreds of partygoers, including the plaintiffs,” the lawsuit reads.
Haaretz has reported that top Israeli military officials held consultations the night before October 7 to discuss warnings it received about a possible Hamas attack. But nobody in the Israeli military notified the Nova festival organizers of the threat even though the event was supposed to be under IDF protection.
“On the night between October 6 and October 7, at least two IDF assessments were held due to unusual incidents on the Gaza Strip border, one near midnight and another assessment close to 3 am, several hours before the Hamas attack,” the lawsuit reads.
The festival’s production team has said they could have evacuated the party even if they received a warning just one hour before the attack. Once attackers descended on the festival, the partygoers were told they were on their own. Organizers contacted the Israeli military around 7 am the morning of the attack, and Israeli forces didn’t get to the scene until 3 pm.
Once the Israeli military did show up, they started firing indiscriminately at Palestinian militants and Israeli civilians. An Israeli police investigation found that an IDF helicopter that arrived at the scene fired on Hamas fighters and also hit some festival participants.
Thousands of people attended the festival, and the lawsuit says a total of 364 partygoers were killed during the Hamas attack, and 40 were taken captive in Gaza. Israeli officials have said they don’t think Hamas knew about the festival and attacked it spontaneously when they came across the event on the morning of October 7.
Initially, a festival was scheduled to take place at the location on October 5 and 6 and was only approved to be extended into Saturday, October 7, earlier that week. Another report from Haaretz revealed that Gaza Division’s operations officer, Lt. Col. Sahar Fogel, opposed the extension, arguing it was a needless security risk, but was told by his superiors to approve it.
And the houses were shelled by Israeli army tanks. The music festival wasn’t even supposed to happen that day. It was an add on date. Hamas did not intend to hit the fest, according to Israeli news.
Hamas did not intend to hit the fest
But Bibi sure did… And HOW!
Max shared this yesterday, it was taken out from a video clip recorded on 10/7 and reportedly released 10/17, he says the babies were killed by KKKhamas but the house was destroyed by an Israeli tank???: https://x.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1741929665307009489?s=20
The festival was raked over by Apache helicopters.
Israelis should be furious with the IDF commanders and Likud leaders for massacring hundreds of Israeli‘s that day.
Israelis are furious that they were being treated like Palestinians.
“Lt. Col. Sahar Fogel, opposed the extension, arguing it was a needless security risk, but was told by his superiors to approve it.”
Reason: BB needed a “Riechstag fire”.
Excellent analogy!
A state obsessed with security, that receives billions annually in state-of-the-art military weaponry, that possesses some of the most sophisticated spying and surveillance technology, that had a network of informers in Gaza, that was warned by Egypt of an impending attack, that was warned by its own citizens in the south of unusual activity does not let its guard down. How could Israel not know that there was seething anger in Gaza after a 17 year brutal siege?
Sorry, not buying the official narrative. Not with Netanyahu about to be tried for corruption and not with the massive protests over judicial changes. The response to October 7th had nothing to do with Hamas, which does not represent an existential threat to Israel, but everything to do with culling the Palestinian population on an industrial scale and stealing more land.
And, how could Mossad, Shin Bet, probably spies in Gaza, U.S. listening posts not know about plans to break out of the concentration camp? Hmmm? Pretty inconceivable, if you ask me.
right then. was O7 a lihop? = let it happen on purpose
or was O7 a mihop? = make it happen on purpose
either way it was certainly some kind of op
Yeah this was their 911, a terror attack allowed for poltical expedience. That should be obvious.
Looks a lot like Nutandyahoo was also out to take out some of his Israeli adversaries with his indiscriminant response to the Hamas attack on the music festival.”Two for one deal” so to speak. I understand it was actually a “Peace and love” festival of sorts. Nothing that a psycho-killer like Nutandyahoo would admire.
I would not call the Israeli military attack on Israeli civilians at the music festival negligence, or even gross oversight, but rather it was most likely done with malicious intent.
Isreali establishment lying through their teeth. They left their citizens to hung out to dry and be massacred by Islamic extremists and Isreali helicopters who did not care who they were shooting at I believe deliberately. Just like a few lightly armed women isreali soldiers and a few men in tanks were left there close to the fence in deliberately weakened position to be killed and they did not send any forces until 3pm allowing the Islamic extremists to complete their destruction. It all had the hallmarks of a giant false flag orchestrated from the very top of the Isreali establishment. Lets not forget Isreal helped Islamic mercenaries to topple Gadaffi and to try to topple asad in Syria and in Iraq. I believe these brutal mercenaries still worked for Isreal behind the scenes and funneled into gaza by Isreal to be used later for a giant false flag on Isreali shadow govt orders. They given all the maps and targets to hit by Isreali intelligence thats why the Oct 7th was so successful. The Stand down order and the brutality of some of the actions against Isreali women civilians and Isreali women soldiers on Oct 7th all point to Islamic mercenaries like Isis and other Islamic extremist wahabbi groups connected to Saudi Arabia and Isreal Just like 9/11 in New York involved in the attack under the employ of Isreal and maybe Saudi Arabia too just like Libya and Syria,Iraq where these Isreali Islamic mercenaries terrorised moderate muslims, Christians and Yazidis and given orders from Isreali Head Quarters to attack on Oct7th as planned. This was a giant Isreali False Flag against their own citizens.For some hidden agenda. Is it to keep this evil incompetent murderious warmongering scumbag Netanyahu in power indefinitely? Is it to trigger a giant regional war? To create crisis in region and wider world? who knows what the agenda was. But to me its a closed case that it was a 100 percent Isreali false flag. That does not mean there weren’t well meaning Palestinian fighters genuinely fighting for Palestinian rights but they may have been duped and not realised they are being used by Isreali intelligence. 20,000 innocent Palestinians have been brutally murdered by the Isreali establishment. Was such an attack worth the price and who does Oct 7th attack really benefit? Many Jewish and Isreali people in Isreal and wider world are smart and if I can figure this out I am sure they too have figured it out and realised the real enemy is and its their own Isreali deep state in their govt of which Evil Netanyahu is a key agent. I am glad a large number of Isrealis are trying to remove this evil murderous scumbag from power. Hopefully he is kicked out soon. Its the best chance for peace and ceasefire in the region for both Isreali and Palestinians civilians caught in the crossfire.
