Zaka, an Israeli rescue agency, revealed that Israeli helicopters opened fire,
killing civilians during the Hamas attack on October 7, killing over 260.
According to an RT article on November 6, Israeli soldiers are suspected of killing a large number of their own people when they launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7. This is supported by the release of drone footage by the Israeli military that shows hundreds of damaged and charred cars that were removed from the Nova music festival.
According to a Yedioth Ahronoth article dated October 15, the first helicopters touched down in the Gaza Strip around one hour after hostilities started.
According to the Hebrew-language daily, the purpose of the armed Zik drones and combat helicopters was to halt the influx of Hamas fighters and looters into Israeli territory via the openings in the Gaza border fence.
This was made more difficult by the pilots’ inability to tell Israelis from Palestinian looters disguised as civilians and Hamas combatants.
The paper notes, “This deception worked for a considerable time until the Apaches had to skip all the restrictions. It was only around 9:00 a.m. that some of them began to spray the terrorists with the cannons on their own, without authorization from superiors.”
“The rate of fire against the thousands of terrorists was tremendous at first, and only at a certain point did the pilots begin to slow down the attacks and carefully select the target,” the paper added.
Throughout the day, twenty-eight Israeli combat helicopters fired all of the ammunition they possessed, including Hellfire missiles and hundreds of 30 mm cannon shells, despite the confusion.
