Elkana Federman, the chief of security at the Nova music festival, who was wounded in the October 7 massacre, filed a complaint on Tuesday with the Moriah District Police in Jerusalem against ousted Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, who has refused to leave his position even after the government unanimously voted to dismiss him. In the complaint, Federman stated that Bar knew in advance about Hamas’s plan but did not act to prevent it, thereby abetting the murder of his fellow security guards and the wounds he himself incurred during the massacre. On Monday, Bar submitted an affidavit to the Supreme Court in which he implicated himself, admitting that he was aware that something terrible was happening at the Gaza border the night before the massacre, but did not wake up Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu or alert the IDF. Netanyahu’s office responded to the affidavit by stating that if Bar had alerted the prime minister or the defense minister in time, “the massacre could have been prevented. Federman stated at the police station: “I filed a complaint against the criminal Ronen Bar, who is responsible for the October 7 failure which led to the murder of my friends at Nova. Because of him, I was wounded and almost killed multiple times. I demand that this criminal be brought to justice now.” When the massacre occurred at the party, Federman acted heroically, saving lives by evacuating injured victims to ambulances and even fighting the terrorists, killing 15 of them with an M16 an injured soldier gave him and later with a handgun he took from a murdered police officer. Eventually, he was shot in his thigh and he ran for his life while terrorists shot at him from all directions. He reached some bushes, where he hid for almost eight hours after applying a tourniquet to his wound with his belt to stem the bleeding. He was eventually rescued and evacuated to the hospital. Federman told Channel 14 last year that he received a warning from a friend in the army a week before October 7th that “something was going to happen on Sukkos.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
