An internal investigation has revealed that the Israel Security Agency was unaware of the Nova music festival at Re'im on the night before the October attack, according to a report by Haaretz. Despite agency representatives attending meetings with police and military officials prior to the event, information about the festival was not relayed to the agency's leadership. As a result, the festival was not included in security assessments, and the agency only became aware of the gathering hours after the attack began. Security sources suggest that earlier awareness could have impacted the response and decision-making of the security establishment.
