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.
There’s a difference between attacking unarmed civilians at a music festival and war. The terrorists should always be condemned, and you’re painting with far too broad of a brush here.
There’s a difference between freedom fighters and murderers.
I agree with your main point. The actions of the Hamas are abhorrent. But many here are equating it with the will of all Palestinians and that’s simply not true.
I don’t understand how these acts, which clearly will not help Palestinians, can be seen as the something they all would want.
