ALBAWABA - In a shocking revelation, a group of Israelis revealed on Tuesday, Apr. 16, 2024, that 50 Israelis have committed suicide after surviving the "Nova Party" incident after Hamas attacked the festival on Oct. 7, 2023. 

According to Erem News, the hearing took place after several Israelis announced the news before the State Audit Committee in the Knesset. 

The surprise Hamas attack on "The Supernova Music Gathering" which took place in Re’im in the Negev Desert resulted in more than 1200 dead, several injured, and the kidnapping of dozens which was an answer to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Palestine since 1948.

A survivor of the incident named Guy Ben Chamoun claimed that 50 Israelis committed suicide despite surviving it due to physiological trauma, as reported by the Arab 48 outlet. He then claimed that this information was two months old and that the number of cases might've increased by now as many Israelis were "forcefully admitted into psychological hospitals".

Another survivor who underwent a medical examination added that she's been suffering from mental health issues that didn't allow her to sleep for more than two hours a day.

She said that she's suffering from trauma and added: 

"If I feel the silence around me, my head trembles and I go back there. I need someone to accompany me all the time. If it were not for my psychiatrist, I would not be here."

She then expressed her anger about the reason why she has to prove to anyone that what happened to her is real since she has friends who have not gotten out of bed yet and are suffering from health conditions due to the attack.

Israeli news outlet Haaretz claimed that an IOF helicopter opened fire at Israeli citizens in the festival in question after trying to target Hamas fighters.

Israel's ongoing aggression on Gaza has resulted in the killing of more than 33,843 Palestinians of whom are innocent children.

Additionally, at least 76,575 are injured from the continued attacks and at least 27 children are malnutrition victims, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Hamas announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel making it the biggest offensive by the group in decades.

Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel while others were seen paragliding into occupation territory.
