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.

    I don’t think they want to wipe them out. The government of izrael needs Hamas for their own selfish reasons. Without a proper enemy, a proper “them”, such a fascist government like Izrael cannot exist

      I don’t think the Israeli voters are going to find that acceptable. One of the good things about democracy.

      But we will see.

        I’m just hoping the least amount of izraeli and palestinians’ innocents die.

        Given how the conflict has been going… its looking fucking bleak.
