Nova Party Victim's Mother Confronts Ex-IDF Intelligence Chief Haliva

Shali, the mother of Libi Cohen Maguri, who was murdered at the Nova music festival, confronted former head of Military Intelligence, Aharon Haliva. The encounter took place near Haliva's home, which Shali noted is only a kilometer away from her own residence. She expressed her deep disappointment and anger, stating, "You live a kilometer from us. Three years since she was murdered, you haven't bothered to come." The confrontation occurred approximately three years after the October 7th attacks, during which Libi was killed along with hundreds of others at the festival near the Gaza border.

Haliva, who resigned from his position following the failures leading up to the October 7th attacks, has been under public scrutiny. This public encounter highlights the ongoing grief and anger felt by families of victims, as well as the broader societal reckoning with the intelligence failures of that day. The mother's direct accusation underscores the personal impact of the security lapses and the perceived lack of accountability or empathy from high-ranking officials.
