Marking an unprecedented milestone, a group of survivors from the Supernova rave massacre filed a groundbreaking lawsuit on Monday against the Israeli occupation's security forces. A total of 42 Israeli settlers are seeking damages.
The settlers, according to The Times of Israel, filed a lawsuit amounting to NIS 200 million ($56 million) in the "Tel Aviv" District Court against the Shin Bet "security" service, the Israel Occupation Forces, the Israel Police, and the Defense Ministry. They claim "multiple instances in which they failed in their duties."
"A single phone call by [IOF] officials to the commander responsible for the party to disperse it immediately in view of the expected danger would have saved lives and prevented the physical and mental injuries of hundreds of partygoers, including the plaintiffs," the lawsuit said, as cited by The Times of Israel, "The negligence and the gross oversight is beyond belief."
IOF tanks targeted Israeli settlers
This comes days after new footage released by Israeli Channel 12, showing that an Israeli tank targeted a settler home in Kibbutz "Be'eri" on October 7 during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Earlier in December, an Israeli witness disclosed that Israeli occupation tanks targeted both their citizens and members of the Palestinian Resistance. This resulted in the killing of at least 14 settlers, including children.
Israeli media had previously reported the killing of a 12-year-old girl, Liel Hetzroni, in Kibbutz "Be'eri" in southern occupied Palestine, by the IOF.
After Liel's killing, her grandfather, twin brother, and aunt were reportedly taken to another location, where they, along with more than 10 other Israelis, were killed. Subsequently, there were allegations that Hamas set fire to the building. The incident was prominently covered in the Israeli media under the title of " Hamas brutality".
In the newly exposed footage, the Israeli commander on the site, Brigadier General Barak Hiram, lied to an Israeli journalist about what transpired that day, in an attempt to cover up the truth with media support.
Rather than being held accountable for his lies, Hiram is about to start his new job as the commander of the Gaza Division.
On October 26, Hiram offered a misleading description of the attempts to rescue inhabitants in "Be'eri" in an interview with Ilana Dayan, the host of Channel 12's investigative show Uvda.
It is also significant to note that multiple reports prove "Israel" killed settlers and partygoers on October 7.
