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.

    And to the exact same point, one side being less successful at killing citizens doesn’t make them right either.

      Just because our military is in your country, stealing land, and keep killing you REALLY WELL, doesn’t mean you can retaliate to stop us.

      You should tell Ukraine.

      I don’t think your justification of “they’re just really good at killing Palestinians” really helps

        If Hamas didn’t conduct military operations out of civilian buildings specifically so that the retaliation will kill civilians, that number would be a lot lower.

        Ultimately, you either think that rape and murder of civilians for absolutely no reason is something that can be justified, or you don’t.
