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.

      Interesting you say that. In the Israel Palestine conflict, Israel was set up with the blessing of the international community and the sovereign powers that controlled the land at the time.

      It was the surrounding Arab Nations that tried to invade and destroy Israel.

      It was Israel’s COUNTER attack that created the occupied territories.

      But the Palestinian refugee crisis would not have happened but for the aggression of Israel’s neighbors.

        They got plonked into Palestine and told they could have it, by countries who weren’t anywhere near

          That’s a stretch

          Extremists of both religions were fighting to take the territory, the jewish ones coming out on top and a lot of innocents caught in between
