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.

    It’s difficult to not conflate them with hammas when 80% supprts them and celebrated the attack

      Honest question: What would you do if you were born there?

          You expect me to believe you would simply leave behind the place you were born and all of your loved ones?

            Already did so actually and it wasn’t even comparable to the situation in gaza so yes , I would definitely leave … I don’t care if you don’t believe me.

            Edit: actually you can search my comments from before the recent attacks and find a few that support the fact i am an expatriate.

              Fair enough. From what country are you a refugee, if you don’t mind me asking?

                I’ll get back to you once you dismiss the fantasy version of the discussion we are having and ask a question in line with what we have actually said

                edit: in case you are really confused, you said you didn’t believe I could leave , no one said i am a refugee…

          "Sorry bucko gate is locked, if you even get too close to it an Israeli sniper shoots you in the knee (be grateful next time it’s the head!). Get back in the cage! "

          Ok, now what do you do?
