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.

    Turns out hitting the music festival was a terrible idea, because it absolutely turned everyone against them.

      Palestinians using violent means might think they’re succeeding because they are actually getting landback for the first time in decades, but they fail to consider how bad it looks to me, a guy on the internet who thinks it would be better for their PR if they kept dying instead.

          How does bombing residential buildings in Gaza help Israel fight terrorism?

          The “murdered woman” you are referring to appears to be alive actually. This seems to be just another “Ghost of Kiev” “Nayirah testimony” “snake island 13” “Reichstag fire” “Mariupol drama theater” story. You Redditors really just gobble up whatever sob story the media gives you with no critical thinking at all, don’t you?

            She was brutalized, raped, paraded through the streets, and is currently being held hostage by Hamas who are threatening to kill her. She may not be dead, but her victimization is not a hoax. She was only presumed dead because she was last seen naked and lifeless with shattered arms and legs in the back of a truck.

            Did you see how her leg was twisted over backwards? That’s not a functional limb anymore. Her head was with gashes and practically naked. How is this fake to you? The video is right there, we know who it is.

      I dunno EDM sucks.

      As does confining millions to an open air prison

      As does Israel creating Hamas

      As does the current Israeli government ignoring intelligence reports because they wanted this to happen.
