At least 260 bodies have been found by rescuers after Hamas opened fire on Israeli partygoers at a music festival near the Gaza Strip yesterday morning, with emergency workers calling the scene a 'massacre'.
Terrified festivalgoers first realised something was wrong when a siren began blaring at dawn warning of rockets. Hamas terrorists then cut the electricity before firing rockets and blasting gunshots from jeeps they drove onto the site.

'I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was a planned ambush. As people came out of the emergency exits, squads of terrorists were waiting for them there and just started picking them off.'
Video footage shows the terrified youngsters, mostly in their 20s and 30s, 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'.
One partygoer named Ortel said the rockets fired were quickly followed by gunshots being fired from jeeps full of gunmen.
She told the BBC: 'They turned off the electricity and suddenly out of nowhere they [militants] come inside with gunfire, opening fire in every direction.
'Fifty terrorists arrived in vans, dressed in military uniforms. They fired bursts, and we reached a point where everyone stopped their vehicles and started running.'

Rocket Attacks still ongoing just now with impacts
I wonder how many iron dome missiles or Israel has?
New attack

Oops wrong thread
The Arabs must feel like real big men using automatic weapons on a harmless herd of party people.
I saw a brief TikTok or Twitter video this morning of revelers dancing and laughing and having fun, outside venue with colorful banners and streamers. The person filming panned to a distant spot in the sky and you could see what looked like parasailers approaching in the distance. The partygoers didn’t notice. Very creepy.
Hamas is going to target Tel Aviv airport
This attack on Israel was not a military operation. It was a state sponsored terrorism attack with the only object to kill, kidnap and destroy as much as possible.
These were not soldiers going against other soldiers, these where terrorist going after civilians.
Or killing women and kids. I saw the video of the one woman they kidnapped with blood on her backside so these animals are probably indulging in their perversions as well and right away, they don’t even wait a day, the liberals are blaming Israel.

All commercial flights in and out of Israel are being cancelled
I’m wondering if this will have the Jewish community to reconsider their world view; the attack enabled by the senile child molester and his handlers and celebrated by the Democrat party collection of anti-Semites known as ‘the squad’.
There’s also the semi-literate affirmative-action hire former president who has done everything in his power to hasten the destruction of Israel.
I’m not hopeful.
Why on earth are they allowing festivals to happen after the attack the other day???
Reform Jews are not Pro Israel..yes they go to Temple and “Pray” for Israel but in the same breath they call for a “two state solution” which means giving Gaza all of Israel..there are plenty of American Jews that believe that if Israel did not exist all the problems in the middle east would be solved
I pray Benji unleashes holy hell not only on these evil goblin piglickers, but on their Iranian demonic masters. Take them all out.
I was reading the “rationale” for this attack from Hamas. They “said the attack was driven by what it said were Israel’s escalated attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem and against Palestinians in Israeli prisons.’
This is one bigly messed-up way to address these “attacks.” Of course I call BS on Hamas.
My understanding is that the commingling/intermarrying of Israelis and Palestinians has resulted in a generation of “centrists.” For better or worse, they aren’t doves or hawks.
So I’m thinking, Israel obviously has to defend her people with a ruthless counter.
I’m also thinking, Hamas knew that their attack would result in untold Palestinian and Israeli “centrists” getting killed in this counter. And Israel will look like mud.
Maybe this is Hamas’ end game…butcher innocents, cause scores of “centrists’ to die, put it on CNN, and watch political support for Israel evaporate.
It’s no different from the DNC filming the inevitable/planted wack job at a Trump rally to make us all look repulsive.
It wasn’t after the attack. The attack happened when they were there. It was a peace concert.
My granddaughter has been communicating with her friends in Israel. They can’t leave their house a d they’re telling her they are showing videos of Israelis being beheaded and people standing around cheering and laughing.
My granddaughter is really upset. She was must there afew months ago.
I am beginning to think that the solution to the Palestinian problem is to ready a couple of neutron bombs for use on the Gaza strip, a couple to be used in the Saini, a couple to be used in Saudi Arabia and a dozen or so to be used inside Iran.
THE attack was against the festival.
NO INTERVALS
Ah, I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying. I remember when these attacks were common in the 90s I had friends in the Valley who were living abroad for periods of time and I recall their stories.
I see those “Coexist” bumper stickers and wonder how incredibly stupid you’d have to be to have one.
