According to a police source, the investigation also indicates that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived to the scene and fired at terrorists there apparently also hit some festival participants. According to police, 364 people were murdered at the festival.

What does this mean? Excerpt: “Senior Israeli security officials estimate that Hamas found out about the Nova music festival through drones or from those flying in parachutes, and directed the terrorists to the location using their comms system.” So they were able to rally that many forces on short notice?

That sounds like they're saying the border crossing to attack Israel at large was underway independent of any knowledge of the festival, but when they noticed the festival they diverted militants to attack it.

Thank you. That’s kinda what I was thinking. Please don’t get me wrong here, the loss of human life is tragic, but the use of technology fascinates me.
