Hannibal directive debunked

It’s sick to blame Israel for the crimes of Hamas on October 7th (many of which are caught on camera as seen on HamasISIS23.com).

If it wasn’t for Hamas murdering civilians at a concert, the IDF wouldn’t be in a position where those civilians could get caught in the crossfire! The criminal in the situation is undoubtedly Hamas.

The Haaretz report many cite has an UNNAMED Israeli police source, that used the words “APPARENTLY harmed a FEW partygoers who were in the area.” You’re clutching at straws if you think Hamas is not guilty of war crimes from Oct 7 th based on this.

Hannibal directive was changed in 2017 to avoid misunderstanding.

“The new protocol specifically says that soldiers should fire at the abductors “while avoiding hitting the captive”.

It similarly reminds soldiers that it is their responsibility to avoid capture and prevent the abduction of others while “guarding the life of the captive.””
