Original Note:
The OP references a single-sourced Haaretz article saying a helicopter that fired at terrorists "apparently" also hit "some" festival goers. No other source corroborate this claim. The video this claim is coming from doesn't show helicopter firing at the festival. https://x.com/GeoConfirmed/status/1723022290886025424?s=20 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
