A little bondo and it’s good to go.buff it off?
I'm kind of surprised they offloaded the pax. Wouldn't that shift the relative vertical positions of the planes possibly causing more damage?Here is a video of the incident that shows the German plane being pulled away from the Israeli one. Holy smokes!!
Two thoughts from someone who has pushed & towed countless aircraft.
Where were the wing walkers? I would have never pushed back without them if there was even a remote possibility of hitting something, especially another plane.
How fast was it going? I have been witness to a couple of minor smashups and they occurred at a relatively slow pace and the damage was far less. The only one that I ever saw that had that much damage was when one aircraft was taxiing. If there are planes or other objects that could be ran into, the push is usually at a snails pace.

If that were an Experimental, we'd just pop-rivet a panel on there and call it good.
Hey now, Cherry Max rivets aren't cheap.I can't understand you Experimental folks. You save a bundle on a panel full of glass screens...and then you cheap out on the rivets.
