Early on the morning on October 7, as hundreds enjoyed the trance music produced by Tribe of Nova, Hamas attacked the event, killing about 400 people and taking 40 others as hostages.
The original equipment used at the festival that was attacked by Hamas on that horrific morning, was recreated in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, December 6, 2023.
