#Israel / Haaretz shows Hannibal directive was indeed employed at three sites to prevent kidnapping of soldiers during 7 October assault

Some of the findings in the Haaretz report:

1. On October 7, 2023, the Israeli military implemented the "Hannibal Directive" in response to Hamas attacks and kidnappings in southern Israel.

2. The directive, aimed at preventing hostage-taking, allows for extreme measures that could potentially harm or kill Israeli soldiers or civilians to prevent their capture.

3. Multiple orders were given throughout the day to prevent vehicles from returning to Gaza, potentially endangering hostages.

4. The military launched attacks on several locations, including the Erez Crossing and military bases, where soldiers and civilians were present.

5. By 10:32 AM, all battalions in the area were ordered to fire mortars towards Gaza, despite uncertainty about the locations of Israeli forces and civilians.

6. The border area was declared a "destruction zone" in the afternoon, with forces instructed not to leave settlements towards the west.

7. Artillery fire was used near settlements in the evening due to intelligence about militants possibly fleeing back to Gaza.

8. The article raises questions about the implementation of the Hannibal Directive in specific cases, such as an incident in Kibbutz Be'eri where hostages were killed during a rescue attempt.

9. As late as 21:33, orders were given to close the entire contact line with Gaza using tanks, with no restrictions on opening fire on anyone approaching the area.

10. The implementation of this protocol did not prevent the kidnapping of seven female soldiers from Nahal Oz, nor did it prevent the killing of 15 other female soldiers and 38 additional soldiers at these locations.
