    I haven’t really done my homework with this (I’m familiar, but haven’t thoroughly investigated the evidence for the claims) but for those who believe this, how do you explain the lack of footage of Apaches mowing down civilians/incinerating cars?

    Like that seems like something that would have been captured or at least there’d be witnesses who attest to it like those in the kibbutz that got shelled?

      Israeli outlet Ynet quoted the commander of an Israeli helicopter squadron who said that on 7 October the air force sent more than two dozen attack helicopters – as well as Elbit drones – to shoot all along the Gaza frontier using Hellfire missiles and machine guns.

      According to Ynet’s account of a preliminary assessment by the air force, “it was very difficult to distinguish between terrorists and [Israeli] soldiers or civilians” but that he instructed his pilots “to shoot at everything they see in the area of the fence” with Gaza anyway.

      “The frequency of fire at the thousands of terrorists was enormous at the start, and only at a certain point did the pilots begin to slow their attacks and carefully choose the targets,” the paper reported, citing an Israeli Air Force investigation.

        Ty, but I do know about that generally, I’m asking about the suggestion that Israeli gunships opened fire on Israelis at the Nova Festival

          ok, sorry if this is dumb, because i’ve just woken up and i might be confused, but…

          did you just ask for the apache footage and then got irritated that you didn’t get something that’s completely different, that nobody allaged?
