Had a dozen or so festival goers been armed, once they recognized that the parachuters where landing and attacking them, would,have used the remaining parachuters as target practice as they floated helplessly to the ground!
I hate to say it, but Israel’s policies were directly responsible for the large number of casualties. Hopefully this will never happen again, and citizens will be armed to the teeth and able to,defend th3mselves and others.
I doubt the drugged-out psytrance revelers would have armed themselves.
They actually had armed security. Private security, I believe, but I do not have a link for that fact.
They ran out of ammunition.
I believe that Israel has outlawed semi-automatic rifles from private ownership.
It is possible that music festival security was armed only with hand guns - against Hamas automatic rifles.
