Chaos erupted today at the Expo Tel Aviv, where the IDF is meeting with the families of victims of the Nova party massacre to present them with the results of its investigation into events at the doomed rave.

Hundreds of young Israelis were mowed down at the party by terrorists on October 7, 2023, amid acts of sexual assault and other brutalities.

Media reports bereaved family members shouted at army representatives at the meeting. Some rejected the probe as unserious, while others accused the army of hiding details and trying to cover up the extent of the its failures.

Cries included “Where were you?” and “Liars” as well as “You haven’t given us answers for two and a half hours!”

Ofir Dor, the father of victim Idan Dor, tells Channel 12: “They came with a very general investigation, without going into details. I didn’t expect more. When I arrived, I said in advance that the presentation of the investigation would last five minutes, because this was the first time the parents could express themselves and say what was on their minds. It lasted five minutes, and then the shouting began. Also cries of anguish and weeping.”

The results of the probe are expected to be made public tomorrow.
