Israel mowed down their own people with apache helicopters

I'm all for shitting on Israel but what event is this referring to? All I could find were debunked stories about the IDF somehow shooting Israelis on October 7th without any Israelis noticing

    You mean all Google gave you as a first result is an Israeli funded propaganda article saying it's all debunked?

    There's plenty more, if you want to dig deeper.

    Make some contextual analysis here. Hannibal directive + Apaches flying for hours dumping their ammo and reloading, hundreds of cars destroyed by advanced weapons Hamas does not have access to, and Israel announcing 1,500 victims before revising it down several times as they started sorting through everyone they killed and found Hamas fighters amongst them.

    Thanks, that's a different wording than I was using. I thought you were implying something different and I was mostly seeing substack blogs.

    I have been pro-palestine since before all this, for what it's worth.

    It's a common IOF practice known as the Hannibal Directive.

    They don't have to avoid "any Israelis noticing" when their impunity is the rule rather than the exception.
