Nova exhibit banner in London taken down over police’s fear of attacks — report

Organizers of an upcoming London exhibition on Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre at the Nova music festival took down the exhibition’s main banner after a police request due to fear that the location could be targeted by terror attacks or extremist protests.

Police requested that the organizers only restore the large sign on the actual day the exhibition begins — which is Wednesday — to avoid revealing the location of the venue ahead of time, Hebrew media outlets reported.

The reports said police officials discussed several threat scenarios with the organizers and said forces would be placed in and near the venue area, including undercover cops, to protect them.

The steps came amid a wave of anti-Israel and antisemitic attacks targeting Jewish targets in the UK.

The Nova massacre saw Hamas-led terrorists invade from Gaza, kill over 360 participants of the rave near Re’im, and take dozens to the Strip as hostages. The Nova victims were among the 1,200 people killed and 251 taken hostage on the day.

In June 2024, anti-Israel protesters waved terror group flags and carried signs glorifying October 7 outside an exhibit on the massacre held in New York.
