He saved 120 young people on October 7: Oz Davidian's van transferred for preservation

The van of Oz Davidian, who rescued 120 young people and eight soldiers under fire at the Nova party on October 7, 2023, was transferred today to the Ministry of Heritage for preservation and public display, following a decision by Minister Amichai Eliyahu.

The van of Oz Davidian, which he used to rescue dozens of young men and women from the area of the Nova party during the October 7 attack, was transferred today (Monday) to the Ministry of Heritage for preservation and public display. The transfer of the vehicle was made following a decision by Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, as part of efforts to preserve the rescue stories from that day. On the morning of October 7, 2023, Davidian set out in his private vehicle toward the Nova festival area, as terrorists attacked the partygoers. Despite the gunfire in the area, he repeatedly entered the area and rescued young men and women to safety. According to him, during the rescue operations he managed to save 120 young people and eight soldiers. The van itself was damaged during the rescues by gunfire and vehicle impacts, but continued to serve Davidian in the rescue operations. Now, more than three years after the October 7 attack, the vehicle will be preserved as evidence of the events that occurred that day. About a year and a half ago, the van was transferred to the Government Vehicle Administration for preservation. In the past month, the Ministry of Heritage decided to transfer the vehicle to the ministry's responsibility, and today its transfer was completed.
