Bar Lior Nakmoli, who was killed in the Nova music festival massacre on October 7, 2023, had miraculously survived a terrorist attack in Taba in 2004, exactly 19 years prior. His friend Uri recounted the harrowing events and Nakmoli's vibrant personality in an interview from the Gaza envelope.
Uri described Nakmoli as a "star" who brought energy wherever he went, known for his distinctive smile and ability to connect deeply with people. He was fondly nicknamed "King of the Ozora" at the festival. Nakmoli was the only son of Nurit and Yossi Nakmoli, with whom he shared a particularly close bond.
During the Hamas attack on the Nova festival, Nakmoli and his companions attempted to flee in two vehicles. Their car was separated from the other, and they reached the Gama Junction area, where they encountered a Hamas cell. After their vehicle crashed into a tree, Nakmoli, along with Yulia and Idan, who were also injured, fled on foot.
Nakmoli and Yulia were killed at the scene, while Idan managed to escape and hide for several more hours. Uri emphasized that despite the passage of time, Nakmoli remains a constant presence in their lives.
The friends continue to support Nakmoli's parents, Nurit and Yossi, who lost their only son. Uri spoke to Channel 7 at a special broadcast site in the Gaza envelope, established to mark three years since the October 7th massacre, reflecting on the strange and difficult closure brought by the identical dates of Nakmoli's survival and death.
