In Israel, 42 survivors of the October 7 attack by Hamas are suing the IDF, the Shin Bet security service and Israeli police over the massacre. The plaintiffs, who were attending the Nova music festival in southern Israel on October 7, accuse Israeli security forces of approving the event amid safety concerns and failing to shut down and disperse the crowd after receiving information about a security breach just hours before the killing spree. This comes as an investigation from The New York Times finds Israeli forces were poorly organized in their response and had no plans to stop such an attack, which went ahead “unimpeded” for hours.
