Israel is carrying out airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for what has been its most deadly attack in half a century.
At least 260 bodies have been found at the site of a music festival in southern Israel attacked by Hamas militants on Saturday, the Israeli rescue service Zaka reported. Hundreds of people, including many foreign visitors, attended the Supernova Festival, an all-night dance party event held in a rural farmland area near the Gaza-Israel border. The festival was meant to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Witnesses to the Saturday morning attacks described hearing rockets and sirens as dawn broke. Videos posted to social media show scores of attendees running across an open field as gunfire can be heard. Israel says more than 100 people have been taken hostage by Hamas, many of whom were at the festival and several of whom are foreign nationals. Israel's government says that rescue operations are underway.
