AT least 260 people have been killed after Hamas terrorists reportedly cut power and started opening fire at a festival – with Brits still missing.
The Israeli rescue service Zaka says its paramedics removed about 260 bodies from the music festival in Sukkot, southern Israel.

Reveller Ortel told local media: “They turned off the electricity.
“Suddenly out of nowhere militants come inside with gunfire, opening fire in every direction.
“Fifty terrorists arrived in vans, dressed in military uniforms.
“They fired bursts, and we reached a point where everyone stopped their vehicles and started running.
“I went into a tree, a bush like this, and they just started spraying people.
“I saw masses of wounded people thrown around and I’m in a tree and trying to understand what’s going on.”
Festival-goer Adam Barel told Haaretz: “People were hit. We hid. Everyone ran somewhere else.”
Pals of a Brit still missing after the terror onslaught at the festival fear he may have sacrificed his life to save others.
Jake Marlowe, 26, was working as a security guard at a desert rave when militants launched a devastating rocket attack followed by a ground assault.
Another Brit, photographer Dan Darlington, who was visiting from his home in Berlin, Germany, is also missing, according to his father David, as reported by the BBC.
Family and friends were last night waiting by phones desperate for good news as it emerged that a British soldier serving in the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) was among as many as 700 killed in Friday night’s surprise attack.
Nathanel Young, 20, from London, was serving as a corporal in the IDF.
His family said on Facebook: “We’re heartbroken to share that our little brother was tragically killed on the Gaza Border yesterday.”
