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.

    I don’t think you finished reading my comment in the first place but I’ll expand on it.

    I did I just snapped because I think it’s stupid to excuse war crimes without evidence. It has probably happened in the past, it will probably happen in the future but to take Israels word unconditionally is giving Israel a blank check to commit war crimes. Israel gets $3.8 billion a year from the US, they should not be launching a single missile until they have evidence there is at least one member of the opposing side (or their equipment) where it’s gonna land.

    Coming back today, yeah I appreciate the latter half of your first comment and the entirety of this one.
