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.

    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.

      Okay, explain how them hitting a music festival is a totally understandable and viable act of war and doesn’t change your opinion on their strategy or intent.

      What other kinds of civilian targets are above reproach?

          Rich people or not… all of those people are now dead and defiled.

          Your change in subject was in extremely poor taste. I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain the downvotes, but here we are.

      Such an enlightening argument.

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

            Times like this make me think the tone indicator people were onto something.

        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?
