At least 260 bodies have been removed from the site of a music festival in Israel that was attacked by Hamas.
The Israeli rescue service Zika confirmed the total following the devastating attack at the venue near Kibbutz Re'im, close to the Gaza border.
Footage of the attack showed people who had been attending the event on Friday night running through an open field with gunshots firing in the background.
Eyewitnesses said rockets were also fired.
"They turned off the electricity and suddenly out of nowhere they [militants] come inside with gunfire, opening fire in every direction," one eye-witness told Israel's Channel 12.
"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.
