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.

“What regular Palestinians? Those doctors and children were clearly armed militants” - the IDF probably.
I heard an Israeli coworker claim that the IDF is the worlds most moral army. With blind-belief like that, they are gonna commit some crazy atrocities.
I’ve read Hamas specifically runs military operations in civilian buildings like hospitals as a meat shield, is that not true?
Yes. but any sort of resistance/guerilla movement does the exact same thing. From the American revolution to the French Resistance.
This is a claim regularly made by the IDF. It seems fairly likely and I haven’t seen any evidence to the contrary.
I’m not sure how different that is from deliberately putting civilian settlements in a hotly contested buffer zone though.
