Starting next week, the IDF will begin presenting its investigation into the massacre at the Nova music festival near Re’im during the October 7 attack to the families of the hostages murdered and those who survived the attack.
The investigation will be presented by Brig. Gen. (res.) Ido Mizrahi, who led the probe, alongside other officers.
Several separate presentations will be held between March 30 and April 4, as there are numerous families of those murdered and abducted, and many more survivors.
The 344 families of civilians murdered at Nova will receive a text message today to register for one of two presentation dates. The IDF says there will be two presentation dates to not limit the number of family members who wish to attend.
An additional presentation of the investigation will be held for the families of 16 soldiers, many of whom were off duty, who were killed in the attack. Another presentation will be held for the families of 16 police officers and two Shin Bet agents who were slain.
The IDF will also be holding a presentation of the investigation to the families of those abducted from the music festival, including those who have since been returned from captivity.
Lastly, a presentation will also be held for the survivors of the Nova attack. A registration process will begin soon, according to the military.
