This is the Guardian.

Tonight, a special update on a weekend of carnage in Israel,

and what might be coming next.

Saturday morning, around 8am, about three miles from the fences and walls

that separate Israel from the tiny Palestinian territory

called the Gaza Strip.

People were dancing.

They'd been dancing all night, hundreds of them had arraived in a desert.

And even though they were so close to one of the most dangerous borders in the world,

there was barely any security. Nobody thought they needed it.

Gaza is surrounded by barriers, patrolled overhead by drones.

Hamas, the militant group that runs the area,

was said to be more focused on building up Gaza's economy,

which has been strangled by a 16-year Israeli siege than fighting another war.

And so, just three miles from the territory, people were dancing.

Unaware that those fences and walls were about to be breached.

And fighters were coming across the land and sea,

and even from the sky to kill them and take them hostage.

Videos show those festival goers completely unaware,

even as Hamas paragliders are slowly drifting towards them.

So far from that music festival, at least 260 people are confirmed to have been killed.

October 7 is going to be one of those dates that becomes part of Middle Eastern history.
