Devastating revelations from Haaretz today:

IDF Ordered Hannibal Directive on October 7 to Prevent Hamas Taking Soldiers Captive
‘There was crazy hysteria, and decisions started being made without verified information’: Documents and testimonies obtained by Haaretz reveal the Hannibal operational order, which directs the use of force to prevent soldiers being taken into captivity, was employed at three army facilities infiltrated by Hamas, potentially endangering civilians as well.

In other words, the Hannibal Directive is an order to the IDF to prevent Israelis from being taken hostage by killing them if necessary while they are in the act of being kidnapped.
Yeah, it’s twisted. Very immoral.
