Hamas gunmen open fire on hundreds at music festival in southern Israel
Videos showed Israelis racing across vast open fields and taking cover in orchards.
During the surprise assault on Israel by Palestinian militant group Hamas Saturday, gunmen opened fire on hundreds of young people during a dance music festival in the southern Israeli kibbutz of Re'im near the Gaza Strip, according to the Associated Press and multiple Israeli media outlets.
Witnesses told the Times of Israel that rocket fire was followed by gunshots fired into the crowd, as hundreds tried to flee.
"The music stopped and there was a rocket siren," a young woman called Ortal told Israel's Channel 12, according to Reuters. "Suddenly out of nowhere, they started shooting."
Haaretz, one of Israel's largest newspapers, described the scene as a "massacre" and a "battlefield," and reported that terrorists on motorcycles drove into the crowd "opening fire."
I've just read where Israel found 250 bodies at this site. 250
This is odd to me. Why the fuck would you hold a music festival right on the border of a known hostile group? I feel bad for these people, but who TF organized the event? The Israeli Military? This smells really fucking fishy to me.
right on the border of a known hostile group
So pretty much all of Israel? Perhaps you should have a look at a map before you make uninformed assertions..
(also it was several km from the border, not "right on it")
