In a courageous display of heroism, Lev Kreitman, an Israel Defense Forces reservist and survivor of the Nova Music Festival tragedy, intervened to stop two terrorists responsible for a deadly attack in Tel Aviv. On a tense Tuesday, the city was shocked as these gunmen, stepping off a train, immediately opened fire on the platform, killing at least seven and injuring nine others.
Kreitman, who is also the organizer of Israel’s Midburn festival—akin to Burning Man—was nearby when the violence erupted. Armed due to his IDF status, he didn’t hesitate to rush towards the danger. With his timely intervention and the support of local authorities, both attackers were promptly neutralized before they could cause more harm.
This incident followed closely on the heels of his harrowing experience at the Nova Music Festival, which was attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7, starkly highlighting his resilience and bravery. Kreitman’s actions not only saved lives but also prevented further chaos amidst a critical situation already tense with ongoing conflicts.
His endeavors echo his continued commitment to community and safety, illustrated recently when he paid homage at Burning Man to fellow community members lost in conflicts or attacks, demonstrating his deep ties and dedication to memorializing their legacies.
