Psyduck was a small Trans music festival that took place in the open fields between kibbutz Nir Oz and kibbutz Nirim, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the border of Gaza. The rave hosted about 100 participants. On 7 October 2023 morning, as part of the surprise terror attack on Israel, the Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas attacked the Psyduck festival, killing 17 Israeli partygoers.

Gathering

For five years, Psyduck music gatherings were held once every two months, with the location of the party being kept a secret. In many cases, even the organizers didn't know where the party would take place until right before the event began. The last location, a pastoral-looking wadi between Nir Oz and Nirim, was chosen by one of the party organizers, Moshe Amzaleg, from Tifrah in Eshkol regional council. The party was arranged as a covert gathering, funded by the participants and without police authorization and undisclosed to the authorities.[1][2]

Approximately 100 young individuals from diverse backgrounds took part in the event, which was considerably smaller compared to the well-known Nova festival near Re'im.[1]

Hamas' assault

The party started on 6 October around midnight. In the early morning, while people were dancing to sound of music, a barrage of rockets started. Partygoers quickly realized that this was no ordinary barrage. According to the testimonies of survivors, a motorized Hamas paraglider came near the party venue, but did not attack them. After that, Palestinian terrorists penetrated by foot and by motorized vehicles from the Gaza Strip. As the shooting increased, some of the party participants decided to run away, while others stayed hiding until they were rescued, a few hours later, by the IDF.[3]

Some of those who decided to flee encountered terrorists, and were murdered while trying to escape on the roads, in shelters where they took shelter, or at nearby kibbuzim, Nirim, Nir-Oz and Kisufim. In total, 17 of the participants were murdered.[1]

Aftermath

The trauma of the survivors of the Psyduck festival is formally acknowledged by the National social security agency in Israel. They are entitled to wide range of benefits including financial, medical and psychological support.

The National social security agency in Israel formally recognizes the hardships and trauma experienced by survivors of the Psyduck festival. Survivors can submit claims for recognition as a work injury victim and a claim for recognition as a hostile actions casualty. They are entitled to a comprehensive array of benefits, encompassing financial assistance, medical and psychological support, and compensation for any lost or damaged property.[4]
