An Israeli man in his 30s was stabbed at the Ozora Festival in Hungary on Thursday, July 30, 2026. Two suspects were arrested in connection with the attack. The victim was evacuated to a hospital for treatment. Hungarian police said they responded to a report from festival security and are investigating the incident. Police have increased their presence at the festival site in cooperation with organizers to ensure participant safety. The Ozora Festival is one of Europe's largest trance and art festivals, held annually in Hungary. In a separate incident, Hungarian authorities arrested three men—a Belgian, an Israeli, and a Portuguese citizen—on Monday at the festival grounds for drug trafficking. Additionally, on Sunday evening, police arrested a 27-year-old Israeli en route to the festival in a rented car with German plates, finding a significant amount of party drugs suspected for sale. The Szekszárd District Court extended his detention by a month, citing flight risk and lack of ties to Hungary.
