At the morgue in Gaza’s Khan Younis hospital, bodies were laid on the ground on stretchers with names written on their bellies. Medics called for relatives to pick up bodies quickly because there was no more space for the dead. Eyewitness video has emerged from the site of an all-night rave in southern Israel, one of the first locations to be hit in Hamas' surprise cross-border attack.
“The thing I want the most is to wake up from this nightmare,” said Elad Hakim, a survivor from a music festival where Hamas had killed 260 partygoers at dawn. Soldiers were still securing the paths of the kibbutz as bursts of gunfire and explosions could be heard in the distance. Jets could be heard above and smoke could be seen rising from Gaza. Sirens warned of incoming rockets intercepted overhead.
Hamas operatives had “nowhere to hide in Gaza”, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said.
