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.

    but casualty numbers do not correlate to who is more “good” or “evil”. It only correlate to whoever has the bigger army.

    I’m talking specifically about civilian casualties.

    Please re-iterate your point if you think it also applies to civilians.

      When Hamas uses civilians as human shields and hides in their country in plain sight, that tends to drive up the numbers.
