Elon @elonmusk crib visit was staged. Hamas's AK47s use smaller 7.62×39mm bullets, fed from magazines, unlike the 7.62×51mm NATO rounds, which are fed from metal belts. Those metallic links around show clearly who was firing those rounds. Only IDF has those. A quick search on Wikipedia will clearly show this about those metal bullet links: The M13 link, formally Link, Cartridge, Metallic Belt, 7.62mm, M13, is the U.S. military designation for a metallic disintegrating link specifically designed for ammunition belt-fed firearms and 7.62×51mm NATO rounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M13_link

Here is the most plausible way that this incident occurred: The 7.62×51mm machine guns used on Israeli Merkava tanks, similar to those in many NATO-standard weapons, typically utilize M13 disintegrating links. In the chaos of the day (Oct 7), IDF soldiers were instructed (as seen in the attached video) to breach the gate with their tanks and open fire, even though they were uncertain (according to the female IDF soldier in the video) whether they were targeting civilians or not. She then stated: "I fired with my machine gun at the house."

Another possibility is that smaller ammunition, specifically the 5.56×45mm, was used with the very similar-looking M27 metal belt (as they both appear almost identical), but this is not mounted on Merkava tanks, rather on military vehicles and armored personnel carriers. I consider this less likely because, on October 7, as per the report at https://thegrayzone.com/2023/10/27/israels-military-shelled-burning-tanks-helicopters/ - it was IDF tanks and Apache helicopters were scrambling and targeting anything that moved.

Another option is that the IDF soldiers were using the Negev machine gun, which also uses 5.56×45mm ammunition and can utilize metal links similar to those seen in the picture. In any case it is clear that these bullets and metal links were from IDF. See more about this gun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bADUD3VQ2U0

I think this is the Negev machine gun used by the IDF, though it's not entirely clear video, but that seems most likely. You can see the metal links flying to the right as they feed the bullets. https://t.co/3dSNAKRznF

Final point about this post: The bullets in the photo appear to be a bit smaller version than I thought, specifically the 5.56×45mm used in the IDF's Negev machine gun, rather than the 7.62×51mm. Instead of the M13 metal link, these smaller bullets use the nearly identical M27 metal link (see photo and compare the two). They are both utilised by the IDF and are very similar. If Hamas were targeting infants, they would likely display those bullets and weapons. Hamas was taking hostages on Oct 7, and the other side attempted to prevent this by targeting anyone on the move (including their own), in a tactic that has been named IDF Hannibal Directive. The point I'm making is that the IDF, who fired indiscriminately from machines, tanks, and helicopters, are the ones who filled those homes with bullets.

What if Hamas was hiding in Israel? James vs caller https://t.co/0d1pJLvNbF
