An investigation by the IDF has determined that Efrat Katz, 68, was likely killed by Israeli Air Force helicopter fire on October 7 while being kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. The findings were presented to Katz’s family today.
According to the probe, an IAF helicopter opened fire on a car carrying several terrorists during battles in southern Israel on October 7. It was later revealed that the vehicle also had Israeli hostages, including Katz. The IDF says that most of the terrorists were killed in the shooting, along with Katz.
The investigation found that the military’s surveillance systems were unable to distinguish between Israeli hostages and Hamas terrorists in moving vehicles, leading to the shooting being classified as a strike on a vehicle carrying terrorists.
IAF Chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar stated that he found no fault in the helicopter crew’s operation, as they acted in compliance with orders in a complex war zone.
Katz’s body was later recovered and she was buried on October 25 in Kibbutz Revadim.

This is irrelevant to the truth, and is only part of the bemusing attempt by the laughing stock joke called the idf in what they call “damage limitation”.
They know that they did much worse over the last 75 years, and before that via the forbearer terrorist militant then ISIS groups otherwise known as lechi, stern gang etc etc.., and that this is just to make a farce as if they really “care”.
pure yiddishkeit
Shoita go bury your head in the sand somewhere. You shouldn’t be on the internet if you’re such a hardcore kanoi and such “pure yiddishkeit”. Not a single one of the Chassidus’ affiliated with the anti Tzioni movements is okay with stam browsing the internet. So I guess you just pick and choose what you like.
the iaf killed many more, you see those burned out cars? that’s from apache helicopters
