Nova families commemorate Zuaretz reviews rocket lull

Oct 7

Reporting at Nova, Keren Uzan recalls 378 people killed at the festival and describes that morning's memorial with families, survivors and diplomats, including Elkana Bohbot's Kaddish. Itzik Zuaretz describes families beside the 378-photo display and reviews Gaza rocket fire: over 10,000 in the first war year, about 150 in the second and one in the third. He places the last rocket at roughly 06:00 on October 7, 2025, landing unexploded in a Netiv HaAsara greenhouse, and says none were fired thereafter, also phrasing the lull as since October 8. He stresses that Hamas persists and residents' sense of security has not returned. The figures and wording remain his account.

Mourners gather near Kibbutz Reim for a moment of silence on the third anniversary of the October 7 attack, commemorating people killed and abducted at the Nova festival. Democracy Now reports Israeli airstrikes in nearby Gaza audible during the silence. This October 7 observance is distinct from the earlier Jerusalem state memorial. Tagesthemen's on-scene October 7 report identifies the Nova festival grounds, the 6:29 a.m. silence and Jonathan Avigdor's difficulty comprehending what happened. This is compatible firsthand coverage of the same third-anniversary observance; Democracy Now's audible-Gaza-airstrikes detail remains its attributed account. France 2's same-day opening shows families observing a minute of silence at the Nova site at 6:29 a.m., described as the attack's starting time. Its concise observance account adds timing to Democracy Now's compatible gathering and audible-nearby-airstrikes account, without making either source's unmentioned detail a denial. Kan's same-day reports add bereaved relatives' Nova testimony and on-scene descriptions of families, survivors and diplomats at the morning commemoration. Keren Uzan describes Elkana Bohbot reciting Kaddish; Itzik Zuaretz describes families remembering beside a display of 378 photographs. Kan's figures and Democracy Now's audible-airstrike observation retain their attribution.
