The IDF mistakenly hit Nova festival attendees while aiming for Hamas militants, Haaretz reports.
364 people were killed at the psychedelic trance music festival near the Gaza border.
AdvertisementA police investigation of the Nova music festival massacre on October 7 indicates that the IDF mistakenly shot some festival attendees while firing at Hamas terrorists.
The source told Haaretz that their police investigation intimates that an IDF combat helicopter fired at terrorists after arriving on the scene.
Israeli security's assessment is that Hamas did not have advance knowledge of the Nova music festival next to Kibbutz Re'im, and targeted it spontaneously after infiltrating Gaza's border, Haaretz reports.
