This is the best summary I could come up with:
A British man is missing after Hamas attacked a music festival in Israel, the country’s embassy in the UK has told Sky News.
It is understood that the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is in contact with and assisting the families of several people in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Mr Marlowe’s mother told the Jewish News her son was working as part of the security team at the dance festival near Re’im - a village close to the Gaza border.
Other people at the festival told Israeli media how the music was interrupted by air raid sirens, before Hamas militants opened fire.
Tzipi Hotovely, Israel’s ambassador to the UK, earlier told Sky News that a British citizen was in Gaza - but it’s now understood this isn’t confirmed.
The Israeli embassy to the US said women and children were among more than 100 soldiers and civilians kidnapped by Hamas fighters and that active hostage situations were “ongoing”.
