Contrary to the initial claim that Hamas conducted the massacre, a Hebrew newspaper revealed that on October 7, the Israeli military helicopter fired upon both Palestinian fighters and Israeli festival-goers near Kibbutz Re’im in the Gaza Strip. According to Haaretz, Hamas likely did not have advance knowledge of the festival.

Security assessments from Haaretz reported that an Israeli army combat helicopter arrived at the event, firing at attackers and unintentionally hitting some participants. The assessment relied on investigations conducted by the Israeli police with arrested Hamas fighters.
