1. The Nature Dancing Festival at Re'em.
240 (250) victims were murdered at the Nature Dancing Festival at Raim. They were attacked in their tents in the early morning. Some of them were suffering from the after-affects of drugs they had taken the night before. There was still loud music being played at the time of the attack. This contributed to the confusion. Many tried to climb trees in the nearby woods and hide in them. The Ishmaelites brought them down with stun grenades and shot them.
The attack had been pre-planned and well-prepared in advance.
The aim of the Ishmaelites was to kill as many Israelis as possible.

Excerpts:
Israeli security personnel made a horrific discovery Sunday while searching the grounds of a desert rave held this weekend near Kibbutz Re'em, not far from the border with Gaza.
The bodies of some 240 young people were found at the site of the music festival that was dedicated to peace with Israel's neighbors...
"People tried to run to their cars, but the terrorists waited and slaughtered them as they tried to get into their cars and escape. Rockets were fired at those who fled.
Among the bodies discovered at the site of the desert rave were many belonging to Israeli high school students from across the country, and foreign nationals from the United States, Canada, Germany and Norway.
Of those who survived, hundreds were shot and wounded by the hordes of terrorists who had earlier flooded through Israel's border security fence. Some were abducted by the terrorists and dragged back across the border into Gaza, held captive by Hamas.

Excerpts.
The prevailing rumor in Israel today is that many of the thousand or so Hamas terrorists had entered Israeli territory several days before Shabbat and situated themselves outside several army bases belonging to the best elite and observation forces so that by the time the intense barrage of rockets from Gaza began, those bases had already been breached and many elite soldiers were killed.
The raids were from the sea, using small vessels, from the air with windsurfers, on the ground, exploding the border fence and ramming through the IDF checkpoints, and also through underground tunnels. Remember the border fence that's as deep in the ground as it is high, bolstered by unpassable layers of cement? Turns out Hamas dug tunnels to points just short of the unpassable fence, stormed out of them, and passed it.
Over the past decade, the IDF has been turned into an instrument for empowering women, transgenders, and mentally challenged individuals. Even worse, because of the Israeli government's fear of annexing Judea and Samaria, the IDF is relegated to manning checkpoints and carrying out police operations, where issues such as civil rights dominate its ability to carry out missions.

Hamas received from Taliban US made weapons.
Israel preparing for an invasion of Hizbullah from Lebanon.
Talk of creating a new Israeli government by expanding the existing coalition to include present opposition leaders.

There were 29 infiltration points from Gaza into Israel.
ca. 300,000 IDF reservists have been called up. An Israeli ground invasion is under consideration.
In Ashkelon terrorists were caught attempting to disguise themselves as Israeli citizens.
Israel is becoming more strident in accusing Iran of being involved in planning and supporting the Hamas Invasion.
In Egypt 2 Israeli tourists and their guide were shot dead.
Gaza has had its water, food, and electricity supplies cut off but for the time being seems to be still managing. They were prepared for this. Numerous buildings associated with Hamas have been bombed in Gaza but the casualty rate so far seems to being deliberately kept low.
