A documentary about Hamas terrorists targeting a music festival in southern Israel during their deadly Oct. 7 onslaught has been acquired by a number of broadcasters around the world.
Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre was picked up by BBC World Service, ZDF in Germany, SVT in Sweden, DR in Denmark, RAI in Italy, VRT in Belgium, Canal+ Group’s CNews in France, Record TV in Brazil, and a major broadcaster in the United Kingdom. The London-based company TVF International, which is handling worldwide sales for the film, is also finalizing deals with further broadcasters, Variety reported.
A trailer for the one-hour documentary was released in late November, and the film will premiere on KAN in Israel on Dec. 23.
Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre chronicles from start to finish the music festival attack near Kibbutz Re’im in southern Israel, close to the border with the Gaza Strip, where 365 attendees were killed. Hundreds of people were also wounded and 40 kidnapped as hostages. The documentary features first-hand accounts of the terrorist attack from survivors and first responders, and real-time footage taken from Hamas’ cameramen and GoPros, mobile phones of the victims and survivors, CCTV footage, dash cams, and first responders. The film also includes interviews with survivors and parents whose children Hamas took as hostages back to the Gaza Strip.
“The scenes and testimonies we have documented are almost inconceivable and unprecedented. Working on this has been particularly emotional as the magnitudes of the horrors perpetrated are coming to light,” said Duke Dror (Inside the Mossad), the film’s co-director and co-producer.
The documentary is also produced by Reinhardt Beetz and co-directed by award-winning filmmaker Yossi Bloch (The Devil Next Door).

US Moves Patriot Missile Batteries from South Korea to Middle East

i24 News – American Patriot missile defense batteries will be moved from South Korea to the Middle East, according to reports in Asian media on Friday, amid speculation over a potential military action against Iran’s nuclear program and escalating bombardments of Iran-backed jihadists in Yemen.
US President Donald Trump threatened Iran on Sunday with bombing and secondary tariffs if Tehran did not come to an agreement with Washington over its nuclear program, and the United States has moved additional warplanes into the region.
Washington and Seoul have reportedly recently agreed on the “monthslong” partial deployment of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3, in what is understood to be the first known case involving the relocation of United States Forces Korea (USFK) assets to the Middle East.
Iran in recent years has largely dropped the pretense of enriching uranium for a civilian atomic energy program, as it’s reportedly teetering on the nuclear precipice. Israel believes that a nuclear Iran represents a grave existential threat, consistent with the exterminationist antisemitism of the Islamic Republic’s anti-Israel rhetoric.
After the election of Trump, a known Iran hawk, the likelihood of an U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has increased precipitously.

Report: Iranian Plot to Assassinate Azerbaijani Rabbi Foiled

i24 News – Iran enlisted the services of a Georgian drug trafficker to carry out an assassination of a prominent Azerbaijani rabbi, the Washington Post reported Saturday, citing security officials.
The plot to murder Rabbi Shneor Segal, foiled by the State Security Service of Azerbaijan in early January, also involved a plan to attack a Jewish education center, the officials said.
The plot was set in motion by an officer with Iran’s Quds Force, who met with Georgian criminal Agil Aslanov, handing him a photo of Segal and detailed instructions on how to murder him, the officials cited by WaPo said. Aslanov’s fee for the foiled hit was $200,000.
The State Security Service said the two men “worked to collect information about a member of a religious community, and sent the location of his residence and workplace to a representative of a foreign special service agency via the appropriate mobile phone application.”
Iran is known to be behind multiple plots against Israeli and Jewish targets, many of which have been foiled by Israeli and foreign security services.
However a recent plot saw three citizens of Uzbekistan murder an Israeli rabbi in the United Arab Emirates on Iranian orders. The three were sentenced to death earlier this week for the murder of Zvi Kogan in November.

i24 News – Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will depart to Washington DC on Sunday directly from Hungary—where he is presently on an official visit—to meet with US President Donald Trump, i24NEWS learned on Saturday from an Israeli source.
The visit comes following a phone conversation between the leaders on Friday, and a call with State Secretary Marco Rubio a short while ago.
As a result, the planned visit to Washington of Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz will be postponed once again.
Topics of discussion between the two leaders are expected to include the possible military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities, the Gaza war and the future of the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave, the US bombing campaign against Iran-backed Houthi jihadists in Yemen, and the recent imposition of tariffs on Israeli products.
