Israel ordered the “Hannibal Directive” on October 7 by ordering the killing of captive Israeli soldiers and civilians. But the U.S. media continues to hide the truth.
Israel’s Leading Paper Says Its Own Army Deliberately Killed Israelis on October 7. But US Media: Silence
On 7 October, the Israeli army implemented its controversial Hannibal directive, which amounts to an order to assassinate Israeli captives to avoid having to barter for their lives by freeing Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
At Kibbutz Be’eri, another Israeli colonial settlement near the Gaza boundary fence, the Israeli army attacked a home containing 14 civilian captives and several dozen Hamas fighters.
All but one of the Qassam fighters and all but two of the captives were killed in the intense crossfire. At least three of the civilians, including 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni, were incinerated by Israeli tank shells fired at the house.
As The Electronic Intifada previously reported, Barak Hiram, the Israeli general who gave the order to fire at the house, told a fabricated story in an attempt to cover up this incident, when Channel 12’s Ilana Dayan interviewed him in October.
The families of the Israeli civilians killed by Israeli army fire at Kibbutz Be’eri have demanded that the military immediately investigate the incident and the decision to use overwhelming firepower at the cost of the lives of their loved ones.
Israeli military sources have revealed that on 7 October attack helicopters, along with armed drones, swarmed the skies above southern Israel and around Gaza.
Israeli news outlet Ynet reported in November how “28 fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm.”
Ynet mentions in particular Lieutenant Colonel A., the commander of Squadron 190, who around mid-morning of 7 October “instructed the other fighters in the air to shoot at everything they see in the area of the fence.”

The Hannibal Directive is in Play fuck the Hostages. Netanyahu has simply ignored the relatives.
“There is a deal on the table: Free the hostages, end the war. But Israel won’t take it,” said the U.S. Jewish-led group IfNotNow on social media. “Every day without a cease-fire means death for hundreds of civilians, starvation for millions, and safety for nobody. It has to stop. Biden MUST use his leverage to end the bloodshed.”

Israel is starving Israeli hostages and soon death and disease will be knocking. This is the ongoing Israeli Hannibal Directive “You only have yourself to blame for being caught so ”
“If current conditions persist,” said Israeli group B’Tselem, “there is significant risk that famine will be declared throughout the entire Gaza Strip within six months.”

When there are too many witnesses Israel’s backs are to the wall. They just might have been treated compassionately by Hamas and the world couldn’t be allowed to know. As far as Israel is concerned there is no compassion only the Hannibal Directive and death.
Three Israeli hostages killed mistakenly in Gaza by Israeli forces had been holding up a white flag, a military official says, citing an initial inquiry into the incident that has shaken the country.

What has always been suspected but never reported that the Hannibal Directive was in play on October 7th however the Israelis blew it and witnesses were left to tell.
An air force colonel has said that Israeli airstrikes may have intentionally killed Israeli captives rather than let them be taken to Gaza.
Speaking in Hebrew about the airstrikes, Colonel Nof Erez told a Haaretz podcast in November, that “the Hannibal Directive was apparently applied” and that 7 October “was a mass Hannibal.”
After weeks of claiming that 1,400 “civilians” were killed that day, Israel last month revised its death toll down to about 900 civilians plus around 300 soldiers and police. An official Israeli account posting to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday appeared to lower the death toll even further

As its indiscriminate assault on Gaza continues, Israel is ramping up repression of its own citizens for speaking out against the brutal war. The clampdown demonstrates the fragility of a “democracy” premised on occupation and apartheid.
. This is a key piece of context missing from mainstream corporate media reporting on October 7th.
