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.

      And they’re happy to do it. What’s the point of Hamas if neither Israelis nor Palestinians are dying? Both at the same time is their ideal environment.

        Exactly, it’s why the Israeli military funded them through the 80s and 90s. If the moderates won then they wouldn’t give them excuses to glass hospitals and gun down children.
