New Delhi: Amid the ongoing conflict with Israel, a video has surfaced showing Hamas militants shooting indiscriminately at makeshift toilets at the Tribe of Nova Music Festival near Gaza border on October 7. The harrowing footage shows the armed men shooting at the plastic doors one after the other, without even checking if the toilets are occupied or the occupants are killed.
The video was shared by the Israel Defence Force (IDF) on its X handled. IDF wrote, “Hamas terrorists indiscriminately shoot at bathrooms during the Nova Music Festival. This just shows you that Hamas does not care who—they just kill.”

The music festival was held in a rural area in Israel on the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The joyous occasion for thousands of people who thronged the festival turned into a nightmare as the Hamas militants unleashed a surprise attack on Israel.
According to reports, at least 260 people were killed at the music festival.
This video is one of the many disturbing images and clips released that showed the brutality and lack of remorse by the Hamas militants as they launched the surprise assault.
“We debated whether or not to share these horrific images, but the world needs to know what we are up against,” the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
Meanwhile, thousands fled Gaza after Israel ordered more than a million people to evacuate the northern part of the territory to “save their lives” ahead of a possible “ground invasion”.
According to a report by news agency AFP, the Hamas-controlled health ministry said that Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip have claimed at least 324 lives in the past 24 hours alone, including 126 children. Among those killed, there were 88 women.
