Original Note:
The video does not show Israeli helicopters firing at the festival. The poster references a single-sourced Haaretz article that says a helicopter that fired at terrorists "apparently" also hit "some" festival participants. No other sources corroborate this claim. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-israeli-defense-force-footage-does-not-show-aerial-gunners-firing-on-fleeing-supernova-festival-goers.html https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-does-video-show-israel-helicopter-shoot-festival-goers-1842754 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/11/17/video-shows-israeli-military-fighting-with-hamas-fact-check/71608669007/ https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-11-18/ty-article/.premium/israeli-security-establishment-hamas-likely-didnt-have-prior-knowledge-of-nova-festival/0000018b-e2ee-d168-a3ef-f7fe8ca20000
