Gaza militants who attacked an all-night music festival in southern Israel shot and killed revellers at point-blank range, then looted their belongings, new car dashcam video verified by CNN reveals. The video began circulating on social media on Sunday and — alongside footage of harrowing kidnappings from the same event — has been scrutinised by horrified families desperate for news of loved ones missing since a series of coordinated attacks triggered Israel’s declaration of war on Sunday.
Israel hit by deadly cross-border attack by Hamas militants. Israeli officials counted at least 260 bodies near the site of the Nova festival, outside Re’im, where earlier footage showed carefree partygoers from Israel and overseas dancing in the desert soon after sunrise on Saturday. Some survivors are among more than 100 hostages that the militant group Hamas claims to be holding in Gaza, according to friends and family members who have seen them in videos shared on social platforms.
