A BRITISH mum was taunted by Hamas terrorists who sent a picture of her mother and brother being kidnapped — as they killed another of her brothers.
Ayelet Svatitzky called her mum Channah, 79, as news broke of the invasion early on Saturday.

But during the call she heard terrorists barking orders before the line went dead.
Moments later Ayelet was sent a snap of terrified Channah and Ayelet’s brother Nadav Popplewell, 51.
She also received a message that read only “Hamas”.
Mum-of-three Ayelet’s family are originally from Wakefield, West Yorks.
She lives near Haifa, in northern Israel.
Ayelet, 46, later learned her brother Roi Popplewell, 54, had been killed by Hamas terrorists on his kibbutz near Gaza.
The fate of grocer Channah and technician Nadav was unknown last night.
Ayelet said: “I can’t describe how worried I am now.
“My mother needs insulin and I don’t even want to think about how long she will last without it.
“I am begging Hamas, please just give us proof they are alive.”
Foreign Office sources have said 17 British nationals, including children, are dead or missing after the Hamas attack.
The parents of Brit Jake Marlowe, 26, who went missing during an attack on a music festival, have confirmed he is dead.
Jake, of Potters Bar, Herts, was on a security team at the event near the border with Gaza.
