Hamas militants killed many people at a music festival in the Israeli desert

Early on Saturday morning, thousands of people were dancing at a music festival in an Israeli desert area when Hamas militants from Gaza descended upon the festivities.

A representative for the Israeli nongovernmental rescue and recovery group ZAKA stated that 260 people died at the event.

Weeks of planning went into the Supernova festival, which took place in the Negev region.

There were people at the concert who looked like they had been kidnapped, and family members didn't know what happened to them. According to family members in the media and Israeli officials, there were also American and British festival attendees in the throng.

Israel hosts a lot of music festivals that attract both foreign tourists and young people from all over the nation.
