The Re'im Music Festival Massacre: A Carefully Planned Slaughter

On the 7th of October, at 6:35am, a day that was supposed to be a day of fun and joy became a living nightmare for thousands of people.  At that time, Hamas began the first stage of what was to become a genocidal massacre that lasted for hours.  Located near the Re'im Kibbutz near the Gaza Strip, the music festival was attended by 3,000-5,000 attendees.  Before the festivities went underway, the air raid sirens sent off around 6:35am, and rockets began to be fired from Gaza.  The attendees began seeking shelter as they were all to familiar with rocket attacks in the past, but this time, Hamas had something far more sinister in mind.   

As Israeli's moved to nearby bomb shelters, Hamas militants arrived, beginning their attack.  Israelis reported that at least 50 gunmen carried out the initial attack, arriving in vans, motorcycles, & paragliders, spraying gunfire at everywhere.  

The Militants Assault

Military analysts who studied the aftermath of the attack discovered that the Hamas terrorists launched a three-pronged attack.  Gunmen attacked the festival while two other groups of gunmen blocked off both of the main streets that led out of the festival, firing into Israeli cars as concert attendees tried to flee.  The only way out for the concert attendees was to flee across an open field, leaving them vulnerable to the gunmen.  


Hamas Throws Grenades into Bomb Shelters
Nearby bomb shelters ended up becoming death traps.  Israeli's who fled into bomb shelters to escape the barrage of rockets were pinned inside by Hamas gunmen, who proceeded to throw grenades into the shelters (Link to Video).  The textbook military precision along with the timing of the attacks illustrates that these militants had been planning this massacre for quite some time.  They knew to allow the rockets to be fired first so they could then attack the Israelis in their bomb shelters, and they knew exactly where these shelters were located.  


Yaniv, an Israeli emergency responder described the scene as a massacre.  In a statement to BBC he said "I've never seen anything like it in my life.  It was a planned ambush.  As people came out of emergency exits, squads of terrorists were waiting for them there and just started picking them off.  They had intelligence information."  These men knew exactly what they were doing, they knew to target this festival, and they targeted it in a manner so that they could inflict as many causalities as possible.  This shows just how evil the ideology of Hamas is, and people must come to realize that if Hamas had the means, they would ensure that all the Jews of Israel met the same fate as those who died in this massacre.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
