    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.
