The concert in Israel that has been in the news recently was the Tribe of Nova music festival, which was meant to be an all-night dance party in a rural area near the Gaza-Israel border, where thousands of young people would celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. However, the festival became a site of deadly chaos when Hamas militants attacked the festival in the desert area early on October 7, 2023, killing an estimated 260 people. The attack on the music festival was part of the larger assault on Israel by Hamas fighters who blew through a fortified border fence in an unprecedented surprise attack that began on October 7, 2023.
