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.

    There’s a difference between attacking unarmed civilians

    I hope you’re one of the first to condemn Israel when they kill at least 10x as many Palestinian civilians in retaliation for this.

    You know, in addition to how many more Palestinians civilians they’ve already killed.

      Absolutely. Israel is the definition of a terrorist state. Imagine nuance

      It’s already been pointed out earlier, but casualty numbers do not correlate to who is more “good” or “evil”. It only correlate to whoever has the bigger army.

      Far more Iraqis died in Operation Desert Storm or the Iraq invasion than the US. More Afghans died during that invasion than the US. More Axis soldiers died than Allied soldiers in WWII.
