Hundreds of people attend a memorial service at the site of the Nova music festival where over 360 revelers were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists on October 7 last year.

Relatives of the victims of the brutal massacre, as well as some survivors, are in attendance to remember their loved ones and mark one year since the Hamas terror group invaded southern Israel and carried out its savage rampage, murdering, raping and wounding thousands of Israelis, and taking 251 people hostage.

Shimon Buskila, father of Yarden (Jordy) who was murdered at the Nova festival, reads out a prayer he composed for the memory of those slain, the welfare of the soldiers fighting in the war, and the rehabilitation of all those injured on October 7 and since.

Dvir Neeman, whose brother David Neeman was also murdered at the Nova festival, recites a specially written Kaddish prayer for the victims of the massacre.
