Propaganda is flying around like crazy in this conflict and I think it's time for our community to come together and try to separate the truth from misinformation and chaff. Similar to my last post on the al-Ahli Hospital Massacre, we're going to go with the following format:

For top-level comments, post the claim being made as well as who made the claim (please cite as close to the original source as possible) and, if possible, the date/time that claim was made.

For other comments, please try to either prove or debunk claims using multiple sources and verifiable information.

    As far as I remember, apparently a video of helicopter gunships accidentally shooting down Israeli civilians in the concerts wasn't showing that at all, at least according to israellycool, a Zionist website...

    That being said, I don't believe according to it that "In other words, everything about the tweet was false."

    I say this, because then why did the article writers of Y net admit it in the text self that the military pilots did confuse between Israeli civilians and Hamas fighters, until a certain point...

    (context: the 'debunker' used the y-net article that mentioned friendly fire as a main topic, which was also used by Megatron, the original purveyor of the friendly fire claim)

    I'm open to any additions to critiquing and countering this counter-claim

      The evidence for that claim was more from statements made by IDF officials and soldiers IIRC
