Thousands visited the Nova Festival memorial site in southern Israel on Wednesday to mark three years since the October 7th Massacre. Approximately 3,500 people were at the festival when Hamas terrorists attacked, killing around 171 people on-site and hundreds more fleeing. The event, which began with rocket barrages, saw many lives saved by an early evacuation decision, though ambushes on escape routes led to further casualties and 44 abductions.
