Mother Releases Son's Final Terrifying Call From Nova Massacre
Natalia Kesrouti, mother of the late Keshet Kesrouti, who was murdered at the Nova music festival on October 7th, released a chilling audio recording of her son's final conversation with emergency services. The call, made at 7:06 AM on the day of the massacre, captures Keshet, injured and terrified, reporting a multi-vehicle accident involving dozens of cars while awaiting an ambulance.
In the recording, Keshet can be heard asking about the delayed ambulance and describing the scene. "I sent my location now, there are several cars stuck with an ambulance, there are about 10 cars that had an accident, brother," he stated. When asked if the injured were conscious and if he could approach them, he responded, "Brother, I don't know, brother, I don't know, I myself am here in pain, my life. Okay?" He later expressed his fear, "Listen to me, listen to me, can you move, brother? I'm dying of fear and I can't move."
Keshet counted approximately 12 vehicles involved in the crash and reported seeing people moving but hesitated to approach due to his own injuries and fear. "I can't move that much, I'm also in pain, okay?"
Following the playback, Natalia Kesrouti spoke emotionally about her son's final moments and accused Israeli decision-makers of negligence. She linked the transfer of funds to Gaza in the years preceding the attack to the weapons and infrastructure, such as tunnels, used by Hamas. "When I hear about suitcases of money transferred, I see my son Keshet, may he rest in peace, sitting in a car under a bridge next to his friend Moti, shot in the head and heart," she said, questioning how much of that money funded Hamas's capabilities.
She concluded by urging those responsible to conduct a soul-searching examination of their decisions, warnings, and failures that led to the deaths of approximately 1,200 people, stating that the bereaved families would hold them accountable.
