A British citizen is among dozens of festival attendees who are missing, kidnapped or presumed dead

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.

    This type of violence does not need to celebrated. It should be mourned as tragic. Its perpetrators condemned.

    So… then how about you simply condemn the perpetrators instead of making excuses for them and blaming the victims.

    People that have been conditioned to hate Israel really can’t help themselves can they? You must know how terrible it looks that you’re trying to hamasplain this shit, but you literally can’t stop yourself from doing it can you?

      The world isn’t so black and white.

      Hamas doing unspeakable things doesn’t make Israel the good guys in this conflict.
