*Israel issued Hannibal Directive, turned Gaza border into 'extermination zone' on 7 Oct.* *Details continue to emerge in Israeli media showing that the army killed large numbers of its own civilians during Hamas' Operation Al-Aqsa Flood* The Cradle, News Desk, July 7 https://thecradle.co/articles/israel-issued-hannibal-directive-turned-gaza-border-into-extermination-zone-on-7-oct-report The “Hannibal Directive” was issued as early as 7:18 am on the morning of 7 October, directing Israeli forces to kill their own soldiers and civilians if needed while turning their own territory into an “extermination zone,” *Haaretz* <https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-07-07/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-ordered-hannibal-directive-on-october-7-to-prevent-hamas-taking-soldiers-captive/00000190-89a2-d776-a3b1-fdbe45520000> reported on 7 July. “Documents obtained by *Haaretz*, along with testimonies from senior and middle-ranking soldiers and officers in the [Israeli army], reveal a series of orders and procedures received by the Gaza Division, the Southern Command, and the General Staff until the afternoon of 7 October – details that reveal how extensive the use of the Hannibal procedure during the first hours of the Hamas attack, and at various points in the surrounding area,” the Israeli daily reported. The report adds that it “does not know if and how many soldiers and civilians were harmed as a result of these instructions, but from the accumulated information, it appears that quite a few of them were at risk, exposed to Israeli fire – even if they were not the target.” The Hannibal Directive is a controversial Israeli military policy that says it is permissible to kill Israeli soldiers and civilians to prevent them from being taken captive by an enemy. . . . -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
