On October 7, at another festival called the Nova in southern Israel, thousands of similarly aged attendees were massacred.

Holocaust survivor Rena Quint shared her story, knowing that the opportunity to hear directly from those who survived the Holocaust is approaching its end.

Yad Vashem also denounced the "repeated attempts to rehabilitate Cukurs's image in Latvia by distorting and ignoring historical truth."

“Sharks aren’t interested in humans. We're not part of their diet. Incidents like the one in Hadera are extremely rare," said Dr. Aviad Scheinin, a researcher at the University of Haifa.

Students calling for the university’s cutting of financial ties with Israel erected tents in Beinecke Plaza on the anniversary of the first encampment.

Searches in the shop revealed guns, 61 knives, four swords, and 18 pepper sprays, among other items.

"The public is requested not to enter the area, to follow the instructions of the police, and to choose alternative routes," the Police said. 

The most recent sign of life of Miran was received through an Israeli who was returned from captivity in February.
