Two different things.
Politifact's fact check says that the video is not showing attacks at the music festival location.
In the Haaretz interview, the Col. says that the pilots opened fire on multiple places along the border fence to prevent Hamas from taking the captives back, killing both Hamas fighters and Israelis.
Music festival story =/= Border fence story
Oh ya, forgot about that site founded by the Tampa Bay Times, definitely a top tier source when it comes to geopolitics. Especially on topic's with zero grey area. /s
Objectively, they didn't do good journalism and cite primary sources.
Primary sources were the interview with Yasmin Porat on Haboker Hazeh (which was censored by Israel) and the interview conducted with IDF helicopter pilots on, I think, Haaretz. Everything else is commentary on the same evidence.
The fact that the Tampa Bay Times failed to cite those two primary sources really calls into question their legitimacy as an institution for journalism. It's basic journalistic etiquette to cite primary sources where possible.
