Updated:

Thousands, including survivors, gathered in Tel Aviv for the Nova Healing Concert, held to remember victims of the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on the Nova music festival.

The assault killed more than 300 festivalgoers and was part of a wider incursion that left 1,200 dead and 251 abducted.

Organisers said the concert aimed to remember the dead and support community healing. “Through dancing, through the music, we are healing together,” said producer Ofir Amir.

Israel’s retaliatory campaign has killed more than 61,700 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Israel faces mounting global pressure as a UN-backed food security agency warns that “the worst case scenario of famine” is unfolding in Gaza.
