An internal inquiry within the Shin Bet has revealed that Israel’s security service had no knowledge that the Nova music festival was scheduled to take place at the Re’im parking area on the night of October 6–7, 2023, according to a report published today by Haaretz. The oversight became evident only after the events began to unfold.
Despite the fact that a Shin Bet liaison reportedly participated in at least two coordination meetings with both police officials and the IDF in the days preceding the attack, the information about the large-scale gathering never reached senior leadership within the agency. The reason the details were not relayed upward remains unclear.
Because the event was not flagged to command staff, the Nova festival was entirely absent from the Shin Bet’s real-time situational evaluations during the night Hamas launched its assault. The lack of awareness meant that the gathering was not factored into early assessments or operational preparations.
Other sources indicated that the IDF also failed to notify the Shin Bet about the festival’s close proximity to the Gaza border. As a result, the agency’s operations center learned of the event only hours into the unfolding horror—approximately three hours after the attack had begun—when reports of multiple casualties started to pour in from the area.
A senior security official said the missing information could have been consequential. According to the source, had the agency or the broader security system been updated ahead of time—or even during the late-night hours before the massacre—it “might have influenced decision-making processes both within the Shin Bet and across the entire security establishment.”

Good golly, how can this be? I’ve been hearing about the upcoming disaster of global warming since high school.
I guess the predictions of a coming Ice Age I heard until 6th grade were the right ones.

Why do they keep pushing this false narrative?
Yizhar David, a former field commander in Shabak, already revealed over a year ago that the Shabak branch chiefs met in person at around 3 in the morning on October 7th.
And, sure, let’s pretend Shabak didn’t know about the Nova party. It was only advertised all over the country and beyond, with Israelis flying in from Europe to attend. But the Shabak had no clue. Sure. That’s totally believable.
There are so many other outright lies in this Ha’aretz article. But dealing with at least 2 lies is all I have energy for right now.
Shin Daled Was Unaware of Nova Festival On Night Before Massacre but well aware of the attack coming.
Shin daled sleeps at night unless they have to fight Chareidim or misnachlim
lies on top of lies. So what is their excuse for not alerting the army bases ?
OUR young people were massacred in their bunks…because they had no warning.
