A horrific discovery has been made at the site of a music festival that was attacked by militants as Hamas invaded Israel.

The bodies of 260 people have been discovered at the site of the Supernova music festival in southern Israel.

The festival, which was taking place in the desert near Kibbutz Re’im — close to the border with Gaza — was attacked by Hamas gunman on Saturday morning.

Harrowing footage posted on social media showed people fleeing in panic from Hamas militants.

ZAKA, a volunteer group that deals with human remains after terror attacks and natural disasters, told Israeli media it had collected the bodies of more than 250 people.

The death toll is expected to rise.

Tattoo artist Shani Louk, 30, was one of the people seized from the festival.

The German national’s partly-naked and battered body was later paraded through the street by Hamas fighters as people spat on her body.

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan wrote: “I cannot imagine how horrific a massacre this must have been. 260 people gunned down. To put that in context, that’s the equivalent of more than five Pulse nightclub shootings. Heartbreaking.”

When rockets were first fired overhead, some people mistook the noise as being “part of the music”.
