Some of the bereaved families whose loved ones were killed in a Hamas rampage at the Supernova music festival join together for a special tree-planting event at the site.

Around 1,000 people plant about 200 seedlings in the scorched earth of the Re’im parking lot, where thousands of young people were partying in the dawn hours of October 7, when Hamas terrorists stormed in.

According to police, 364 people were shot, bludgeoned, or burned to death at the rave in a stretch of tree-dotted brush near Kibbutz Re’im. Another 40 people were taken hostage by Hamas to Gaza.
