Families of Oct. 7 rave victims said planning their own anniversary memorial

Families of victims slain at the Supernova music festival by Hamas terrorists on October 7 are planning their own memorial, Channel 13 reports, amid a continued fracas over how the anniversary of the onslaught should be marked and to what extent the government should be involved.

The network says the Supernova ceremony will kick off at the rave site near Re’im at 6:29 a.m. on October 7, exactly a year after the beginning of the largest terror attack in the state’s history.

Some 1,200 were murdered that day, including 364 at the dance party, and 251 were taken hostage to Gaza.

The ceremony “will honor the memory of the victims, without politics and politicking,” says the organizer, who is the father of rave victim Ron Yehudai, according to Channel 13, which adds that several unnamed artists have confirmed their participation.
