Rescuers recover more than 260 bodies at music festival attacked by Hamas
independent.co.uk

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.

except half the morons around here who thought this was justified

The video that the NYT put out today of armed terrorists in technicals mowing down civilians from the road took years off my life. They rolled into Sderot and just shot anything that moved, which was mostly civilians along with firefighters and police.

Unfortunately, they also managed to kill a decent number of German, Thai, American, French, and other foreign nationals. Ironically, they also executed Israelis living in communes who were pressing for peace for Palestinians after the horrors of the 2014 war.

Not me

Waaa waaa waaa palestine terrorist supporter

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?

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

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?

She was brutalized, raped, paraded through the streets, and is currently being held hostage by Hamas who are threatening to kill her. She may not be dead, but her victimization is not a hoax. She was only presumed dead because she was last seen naked and lifeless with shattered arms and legs in the back of a truck.

The person in the video being misidentified does not change the fact they were parading a nude, murdered woman. Watch the video. How does that get them land back?

You are talking to a moron, save your breath.

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.

I dunno EDM sucks.

As does confining millions to an open air prison

As does Israel creating Hamas

As does the current Israeli government ignoring intelligence reports because they wanted this to happen.

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.

Such an enlightening argument.

I guess then it was an excellent idea to shoot up a music festival.

Your post speaks volumes. Imagine justifying slaughter by maligning innocent people.

Damn I agree they deserved to die for it and their families deserve to suffer

I never said nor implied that.

What I said would be completely true even if there wasn't an attack.

Sure, but what you choose to focus on reveals a lot. Nothing they did was deserving of death, nor does any of it even slightly mitigate the circumstances of their death, so why it is what you choose to keep focusing on in your posts?
