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.

    So there is a terrorist state next door that terrorises them, that chases them from their houses, kills them, etc., but they should fight the other terrorist group that fights for them, albeit the very wrong way?

      If they value their statehood, yes.

      If Germany took care of their Nazi problem before it festered, the rest of the world wouldn’t have had to deal with the entirety of World War II, and German citizens wouldn’t have been punished with the brutal East/West division of its country. Countries should not tolerate fascism and terrorism within their own ranks, no matter who’s side they are on.

        You would say, with a straight face, that this would make their lives better? To have a civil / internal war mostly against a terrorist organisation, while not even a year ago their US sponsored terrorist state nextdoor were still reporting their citizens, stealing their homes and murdering their people with the whole world just going “Oh well, they’re just Arabs. GO Ukraine!”
