⭕️ Haaretz reported in 2024 that the Israeli military invoked the Hannibal Directive on Oct. 7. The policy lets troops use force to prevent Israelis from being taken captive, even by killing them.

According to Haaretz, the military ordered it at three sites under attack: the Erez crossing, the Re'im army base and the Nahal Oz outpost. By late morning, a command had gone out that "not a single vehicle can return to Gaza." On the Haaretz podcast, a military officer described what happened that day as a "mass Hannibal." But three years later, there is still no count of how many of the 1,100+ people killed in Israel that day were killed by Palestinian fighters. No Israeli authority or human rights group has published a death-by-death breakdown separating those killed by Palestinian fire from those killed by Israeli fire. Israel holds extensive footage from that day, including surveillance, drone, body camera and helicopter video, but has not released any such accounting. The military has said that investigating individual friendly-fire deaths would not be "morally sound." The evidence that has emerged points to Israeli fire in several cases. A UN commission of inquiry, despite being denied access to Israel or any evidence Israel collected, found that Israeli forces likely applied the directive in at least two incidents, killing at least 14 Israeli civilians. Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported that Israel’s military struck 70 vehicles heading to Gaza. In Kibbutz Be'eri, 13 of the 14 captives held in Pessi Cohen's house were killed after an Israeli tank fired on it. A military review later cleared the troops. On Wednesday, on the third anniversary of the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Zeteo's Mehdi Hasan examined how many Israelis were killed by Israeli fire that day.
