U2 frontman Bono paid tribute to the hundreds of young Israelis who were killed, kidnapped, or missing after a desert rave in Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists. During a show in Las Vegas, Bono dedicated the song "Pride" to the victims and changed the lyrics to reflect the tragedy. He expressed his prayers for peace and non-violence while directing his anger towards the attackers. The audience joined in singing, showing solidarity with the festival-goers.
