The terrorists from Hamas have ruthlessly dealt with the participants of the peaceful festival "Nature Party," which took place on the desert near the city of Ofakim on Friday and Saturday. The fighters attacked the surprised people, some of whom were captured, tied with cords and murdered in cold blood. So far, about 250 bodies have been found.
As reported by the media in Israel, many people managed to escape through the Negev desert and reach the city of Netivot, from where they were evacuated deeper into Israel. Terrorists have also kidnapped some participants and will hold them in the Gaza Strip, either to later exchange them with Israel or to use civilians as human shields in combat.
The situation in Israel is very difficult, and the fighting continues.
Reports on the fate of participants at the "Nature Party" festival are dramatic. People having fun at a peaceful party in the desert were caught off guard in the early morning by a Hamas militia, which cold-bloodedly shot into the crowd and murdered the participants. Everything happened near the Kibbutz Reim, not far from the city of Ofakim.
Terrorists mercilessly shot at people, some of whom managed to escape, while others fell into the hands of the perpetrators. They were tied up, some reportedly tortured, and then shot in cold blood. So far, the Israeli military has found almost 250 bodies, and "The Jerusalem Post" reports about 750 missing persons.
Witnesses claim that several young women have been kidnapped. The fate of their loved ones, who were also enjoying the festival, is unknown today. Some people managed to escape through the desert, some by cars, others nearly 18.64 miles on foot. Most are young people who went out for a weekend party.
One of the victims of the terrorists is Hapoel Tel Aviv soccer player Lior Asulin. The club has released an official statement saying that the player was killed in an attack during the "Nature Party".
Hamas terrorists attacked Israel
The Israeli authorities approved the state of war on Sunday. In relation to the Hamas attack, the government decided to "undertake significant military action" and send the army to take control of the situation in the vicinity of the Gaza Strip and on its territory. On Saturday evening, the Israeli Security Cabinet made the decision to activate art. 40 of the Basic Law.
Armed Hamas militants have invaded 22 locations in Israel, including cities and kibbutzes that are 14.9 miles from the border. In some places, they drove around for hours in pick-ups, shooting at civilians and soldiers. Many people were killed, many were abducted to the Gaza Strip, where they will be hostages of terrorists.
