The Israeli rescue service Zaka says its paramedics removed more than 260 bodies from a music festival that came under attack by Hamas militants.

The total figure of bodies found is expected to be higher, as other paramedic teams were also working in the area and Zaka added that the bodies “haven’t all been collected yet”.

Early on Saturday morning, Hamas targeted Nova music festival, a techno rave in the desert near the border with Gaza.

Videos shared on social media and by Israeli news outlets showed dozens of festival-goers running through an open field as gunshots rang out. Many hid in nearby fruit orchards or were gunned down as they fled.

    Okay, explain how them hitting a music festival is a totally understandable and viable act of war and doesn’t change your opinion on their strategy or intent.

    What other kinds of civilian targets are above reproach?

      What the heck? Why are you asking me to defend the attack when all I said it was a vapid display put on so rich people could feel good about themselves?

      Lol.

        Rich people or not… all of those people are now dead and defiled.

        Your change in subject was in extremely poor taste. I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain the downvotes, but here we are.
