At least 260 killed at Israeli music festival by Hamas terrorists in a shock attack.
As the Israel-Hamas war intensify, 260 people had been reported killed at a music festival by Hamas terrorists in a shock attack.
Bodies of young revellers were seen piled up on top of each other in makeshift tents last night as emergency workers tried to identify the 260 festival killed at a Israeli music festival by Hamas terrorists in a shock attack.
The distressing image, shared in a pixelated form on the Israeli government’s official Twitter page, showed scores of victims placed in body bags at the site of the ‘beautiful party’ that turned into a horrific massacre.
Shocking footage from the aftermath of the attack shows festival tents empty, with abandoned cars of those trying to escape strewn on the side of the road leading tot the Supernova Festival, near Kibbutz Re’im, close to the Gaza Strip, which had been left by terrified victims, MailOnline reports.
Music at the rave in the desert, which survivors said had ‘good vibes’, played all night until round 6.30am when a siren began blaring warning of rockets. Hamas terrorists then cut the electricity as rockets flew overhead and jeeps filled with gunmen ran onto the site.
Terrifying footage shows the partygoers fleeing on foot over the sand to their cars, screaming as shots are fired. Some are seen holding hands as they run away while others shout ‘go, go, go’. Police are seen helping the crowd evacuate.
Survivors of the attack said they were forced to hide under bushes as they watched victims get killed one by one, until they heard the sound of people rescuers speaking in Hebrew. According to Israeli media, it took five hours for military to arrive.
Confirming the horror, the Israeli rescue service Zaka said it had recovered at least 260 bodies that will be removed from the festival site.
Meanwhile distraught relatives, hoping to find their loved ones, were asked to bring personal items such as combs and toothbrushes belonging to their missing children to help emergency services begin the grim task of matching DNA to bodies found.
A senior Hamas official said last night that the militant group is holding more than 100 people captive following its attack on Israel. The attack has sparked fierce fighting killing and wounding thousands of people on both sides.
