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 sit here, waiting for the order to get underway, for the EAM to set 1SQ so I can finally fucking launch some warheads on foreheads. Is that enough for you, or did you want me to 1306 to infantry?

        I’m sitting at my current location browsing because I’m obviously not underway - I still have internet access, on a non-secure website, on a non-secure device. Hence waiting for the order to get underway. If I were already underway I wouldn’t be able to browse the internet.

          Oh okay. No disrespect, but from your other posts, I get the feeling you’re fresh out of boot camp. A sense of pride is healthy, but it can get you in trouble if you don’t keep it in check - loose lips sink ships.

          Next time go with the euphemism for dropping a deuce, it’s funnier.

            Nah, I’ve been in a hot minute. I’m a first class petty officer now, hoping to either make Chief or commission at some point. I know loose lips sink ships - nothing I’ve said is classified or controlled unclassified information, and all of it can be found on Wikipedia with a cursory search, and some common sense - I’m posting on the internet, so obviously I’m not underway. Mostly, I’m just trolling the civilians who think they know anything about the strategic picture. Thanks for your concern though, shipmate. It’s sincerely appreciated. Hooyah.

              Hey - I might have given the wrong impression - I’m a civvy and never served. Grew up in a navy fam, so I have some exposure to life and lingo, but I won’t pretend to know shit. Stolen valor is fucked up, so I’m sorry if I gave you that vibe. Thank you for your service sailor.

                You’re good, and thank you for supporting us. I encourage you to consider serving or entering one of the government jobs - people have this misconception that the military is entirely composed of front-line combat troops, and that just isn’t true. There are plenty of supporting roles, most of which never see a single day of combat or approach within a thousand miles of it. In this day and age with economic insecurity, ours are some of the most secure, if you stay in.

        We kicked in the door in the middle east, trashed the place, and left, multiple times now. We won’t hesitate to do it again, and this time, we might decide not to be as nice as we were the other few times. You should be careful where you post that sentiment. The CIA has eyes and ears everywhere. Sweet dreams.

            I wouldn’t know, I’m the one wearing it, civilian. How does it taste? Tell me how the asphalt tastes.

                I’m proud of being a United States Navy submariner in the strategic nuclear fleet. I stand ready to launch when directed by a valid and authentic order is given, without hesitation. I do not fear the crushing lightness depths of the sea or the torpedoes of our adversaries. HOOYAH AMERICA. KILL THE BEAR.
