HORRIFIED rescuers have found 260 bodies at a music festival in Israel – after Hamas terrorists reportedly cut power and started opening fire.
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.”
One woman, Noa Argamani, 25, was filmed screaming: “Don’t kill me! No, no, no,” as she was snatched by a gunman on a motorbike.
Pictures later appeared of her alive in custody.
More than 250 were killed by rockets and gunmen on paragliders.
Around 750 were reported missing and are almost certainly being held in booby-trapped bunkers in Hamas’s Gaza base.
Overall, 700 Israelis were killed and 2,048 injured in fighting over the weekend.
It comes as the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 413 people had died in Israeli air-strikes following the surprise Hamas attack.
The vast majority were in the Gaza Strip, where 2,200 were also wounded.
