The pickup truck used by Oz Davidian to rescue dozens of young people from the vicinity of the Nova music festival during the October 7th Hamas attacks has been transferred to the Ministry of Heritage for preservation and public display. The decision to preserve the vehicle was made by Minister of Heritage Amichai Eliyahu as part of efforts to document rescue stories from that day.
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Davidian drove his personal truck to the festival area as terrorists attacked attendees. Despite the ongoing gunfire, he repeatedly entered the site to evacuate young people to safety. Davidian stated that he managed to rescue 120 young people and eight soldiers during these efforts. The truck sustained damage from ramming and gunfire but continued to be used for rescues.
More than three years after the attack, the vehicle will be preserved as a testament to the events of October 7th. Davidian recounted, "On October 7, 23, I went out with my truck to the Nova party and under fire, I managed to rescue 120 children alive and eight soldiers, including a tank crew, all under fire. The vehicle was damaged by ramming and gunfire."
About a year and a half ago, the truck was initially transferred to the Government Vehicle Authority for preservation. In the past month, the Ministry of Heritage decided to take responsibility for the vehicle, with the transfer finalized on Monday. The plan is to preserve and exhibit the truck to the public, showcasing the vehicle Davidian used to rescue festival-goers and soldiers under fire during the October 7th attack.
