Nova survivors dance again three years after October 7: 'We won't stop'

Israel faces the third anniversary of October 7 amid a midterm election campaign, and Hamas's surprise attack is at the center of political debate. Media outlets such as Haaretz revealed that Benjamin Netanyahu received advance warning of the militants' plans but did not heed it. The prime minister, who blocks the establishment of a commission of inquiry into what happened, denies it. In the midst of the political fight, thousands of survivors rebuild their lives after surviving that 'Black Saturday' which left around 1,200 dead and 251 kidnapped, according to official Israeli figures, opening the door to a military operation for which Israel is being investigated by international justice on charges of 'genocide'. In addition to military bases and neighboring agricultural communities, Hamas militiamen and other Palestinian groups that crossed the security barrier encountered some 3,000 people dancing at the gates of the Gaza Strip's Super Nova festival, a large party.
