      Paramotors. If you haven’t, give it a search. I don’t think it’s been done before outside of this conflict, but maybe in Ukraine as well?

      Powered paragliding and bulldozers too, that was correct.

    “There is a growing assessment in the security establishment that the terrorists who carried out the massacre on October 7 did not know in advance about the Nova festival held near Kibbutz Ra’im, and decided to come to the place after discovering that a mass event was taking place there. The security system’s assessment relies, among other things, on the investigations of the terrorists and the investigation of the incident by the police, from which it appears that the terrorists intended to reach Kibbutz Ra’im and nearby kibbutzim. According to a police source, an investigation into the incident also revealed that an IDF combat helicopter that arrived at the scene from the Ramat David base fired at the terrorists and apparently also hit some of the revelers who were there. According to the police, 364 people were killed at the festival.”
