Thanks for that video. I started following the Moon of Alabama blog after Russia/Ukraine situation blew up in 2022, and after 7 October several prominent commenters there began heavily pushing the LIHOP hypothesis, with one in particular spamming the comments sections with screeds about it being a false flag rather than LIHOP. I have attempted to research the background to the Tribe of Nova: Supernova event (Universo Paralello World Tour: Israel Edition) since day one, partly because of my personal connection to that music scene.
In short, I basically agree with the thesis presented in the video that it was LIHOP but with the proviso that the Israelis massively underestimated the sophistication and scale of the operation due to ingrained hubris and racist tropes that drove their belief that the Palestinian resistance factions were incapable of comprehensively defeating the Gaza Division and destroying the entire surveillance apparatus in the space of a couple of hours.
Regarding the Supernova event, I still have not found any information on (1) where the originally planned venue was; and (2) why the venue was changed just four days prior to the event. I was pointed to a newspaper article about the military authorisation received for the change and explaining the organisational mechanics that made this last-minute change possible for such a large international event.

I did not know that Israel provided arms to 97% Muslim Azerbaijan to assist in completely removing the predominantly Armenian (97% Christian) people (~120k people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Artsakh) from the disputed enclave within Azerbaihjan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagorno-Karabakh_conflict, https://www.prif.org/publikationen/publikationssuche/publikation/between-geopolitics-and-identitiy-struggle-why-israel-took-sides-with-azerbaijan-in-the-nagorno-karabakh-conflict and https://apnews.com/article/armenia-azerbaijan-nagorno-karabakh-weapons-israel-6814437bcd744acc1c4df0409a74406c.
There's a 55 minute video at: https://rumble.com/v4l4oqw-october-7-was-an-inside-job-documentary-2024.html which is likely to be of interest since it quotes mainstream media sources. The video argues that the Hamas attack was a Mossad operation. I have only listened to 12 minutes of it, so I don't have an opinion on it, but it is pertinent to the above discussion.
