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.

    Netanyahu is entering the “find out” part of his plan of “fuck around and find out.” Maybe having a music festival minutes away from a genocide wasn’t the best idea?

      Maybe the festival-goers were taught their whole lives that Palestinians were peaceful and just wanted their freedom? Maybe they didn’t know that Palestinians almost entirely support terrorism to eradicate all Jews? Perhaps we should use this as a good opportunity to educate the whole world: Palestine doesn’t want peace. They won’t stop until every Jewish person is dead. It is time we stop sending support to Palestine, and treat them like the bloodthirsty terrorists they are.
