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.

        they are actually getting landback for the first time in decades

        How does massacring hundreds at a music festival get them land back? How does parading a nude, murdered woman get them land back?

          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?

            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.

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

      Speak for yourself.

      Rational people recognize what a vapid facade ‘music festivals for peace’ are.

      The ‘peace’ was just an excuse so rich people don’t feel bad about partying.
