Media: The Israeli army used the "Hannibal protocol" during the events of October 7
The Israeli army announced that the "Hannibal protocol" was used against its soldiers and civilians during the events of October 7. This protocol was developed by the Israeli army in 1986, and provides measures up to the extermination of its servicemen and civilians to prevent them from being captured by the enemy.
During the events of October 7, the Israeli army implemented the "Hannibal protocol" at military facilities and checkpoints on the border with the Gaza Strip. This was reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz based on the documents and statements of the Israeli military.
"We didn't have a plan in case of such an attack, because we couldn't even imagine it in our nightmares," the publication quoted an Israeli soldier as saying.
According to him, "nobody had the slightest idea how many people were abducted on October 7 and where the Israeli forces were at that time."
It is reported that after the abduction of Israeli soldiers at the Erez checkpoint (Beit Hanun) on the morning of October 7, drone attacks on the checkpoint and the military post were ordered several times.
According to the newspaper, on the morning of October 7, the "Hannibal Protocol" was used at the military checkpoints "Reim" and "Nakhal-Oz". "Those who made these decisions knew that our soldiers in the area could be injured," a senior Israeli army official said.
The meaning of the so -called "Hannibal Protocol" is that the military and security forces are obliged to prevent the capture of military personnel or civilians by taking all possible actions, including measures that could threaten the life of the captured person . This procedure was developed by the Israeli army in 1986, and in 2016 Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot ordered its replacement with a new operational order.
