Here is the Reuters Fact Check. It accurately states that the video in question isn’t the one where Hamas killed hundreds. The Fact Check is clear in stating that Hamas killed almost 300 in that attack.

“A clip of people running through the entrance of a Bruno Mars concert in Tel Aviv on Oct 4 is circulating with the false claim that it shows people running from an attack at a festival in the Negev Desert on Saturday.”

“Hamas gunmen killed 260 people and took others captive at an Israeli music festival, Nature Party, in the Negev Desert on Saturday. The party, which took place near Kibbutz Re’im close to Gaza, was one of the first targets in an attack that killed at least 700 people on Saturday. Israel retaliated with bombings of Gaza on Sunday, killing at least 400 people.”

It isn’t Reuters fault that some wish to misinterpret what Reuters said.

Thank you. I was able to figure that out just by reading the sensationalized Slay “news” story. Ironic that Slay omits key information and needs to be fact checked itself. It does our side no good to engage in gaslighting like the left.

You’ll also find interviews with concert goers who state that civilians were caught in a cross fire between Hamas and Israeli military/police and that ‘many’ of casualties were the result of gunfire from the Israeli side.
