In the morning of October 7, 2023, on the day of Simchat Torah, thousands of terrorists of the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza attacked Israel. In their barbarian action, they broke through the security fence in Gaza and murdered, decapitated and burnt more than 1200 Jews.
The show will feature guests discussing current domestic and international political affairs and reflecting on events from a Jewish perspective. Kálmán Szalai, President of the Action and Protection League, will host the program.
One year ago, on October 7, 2023, Palestinian Islamist terror group Hamas attacked participants at the Supernova Sukkot Gathering festival. In total, 364 festival-goers were massacred, and dozens of participants were wounded in this terrorist attack, with at least 37 hostages taken.
The mass murder was part of a coordinated series of Hamas attacks against Israel, targeting Israeli civilians in the nearby communities of Netiv HaAsara, Be’eri, Kfar Aza, Nir Oz and Holit.
„We are heading to the place where the attack took place, but we are also passing through the place where the cars that were at the festival site were picked up. You can see that most of the cars have been blown up,” said Ifhat Zinner, the aunt of Hadar Hoshent, one of the victims of the Nova festival terrorist attack.
Zinner added that her nephew was the one who tried to save people in a car, so he made several trips between the festival site and the entrance. But during the third round, Hadar Hoshen and other people in the vehicle were shot dead by terrorists.
The SuperNova Sukkot Gathering, an outdoor psychedelic trance music festival, was held to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot near the Re’im kibbutz, just 10-15 kilometres from the Gaza border. At the festival site, the organisers set up a campsite and three stages, and the festival was attended by around 3,000 people from all over Israel. Due to the nature of the genre, the majority of the festival’s participants were young people aged between 20 and 40, and security guards were on duty.
„The whole series of attacks in Gaza started when we arrived in Israel,” said Róna Aser and his wife Eszter, who emigrated from Hungary to the Jewish state and started a new life in the Sa’ad kibbutz, just 1 km from the Gaza Strip. The family, who have been living in Israel for 23 years, explained that many people asked them why they had timed their move to a period when the situation in Israel was like this.
They thought, however, that it was „always right now, always a situation” in Israel, so they found it completely irrelevant when they settled in the country. The Aser family also spoke about the night of the attack. They recalled that on the night of the attack, they received a message that something was wrong because the wall of the kibbutz had been breached by terrorists.
„We had to close the doors immediately and pull down the electric blinds. Then came the further instructions on what to do, but to be honest, we didn’t understand any of it.”
This was because they could not hear the guns crackling in the kibbutz, only that they were firing. But they had heard gunfire before, so they didn’t pay much attention. Nevertheless, they obeyed all the orders they were given, but the situation was completely unusual because they had never been in a situation like this before. Finally, the family realised what was happening in their neighbourhood after receiving a phone call from Esther’s brother.
