Four friends who worked as security guards at the Nova music festival on October 6, 2023, the eve of the Simchat Torah holiday, have returned to the Re'im forest site. On that fateful day, as alarms sounded and Hamas terrorists approached, they attempted to continue their mission of protecting festival-goers. Three of these guards were abducted and held captive for two years before their release. The fourth guard was injured during the attack and later returned to Gaza as a reservist soldier, seeking those responsible.
Three years after the massacre, Bar Cooperstein, Eitan Mor, Rom Braslavsky, and Elkana Federman reunited at the Nova site. They shared their experiences of returning to life that was halted on the "Black Sabbath," detailing their struggles and the path toward recovery. Their return to the site signifies a commitment to confronting the trauma and ensuring that such an event, referring to the October 7th attacks, does not happen again.
