Gaza (Quds News Network)- Israeli Haaretz revealed in an investigation issued Sunday that the Israeli military ordered the "Hannibal Directive" on October 7th. According to documents and testimonies from soldiers and mid-level and senior army officials obtained by the Israeli newspaper, orders and procedures by the army's Gaza Division proved the use of the protocol "from the first hours following the [October 7th] attack and at various points along the border". The report cited a "very senior" army source, who confirmed that the procedure was used on October 7th. The division was given the order by Israeli command at 11.22am, about five hours after the attack, that "not a single vehicle can return to Gaza." A southern command source told the paper: “Everyone knew by then that such vehicles could be carrying kidnapped civilians or soldiers … Everyone knew what it meant to not let any vehicles return to Gaza.” The Israeli military used the protocol at many locations including the house of Pessi Cohen at Kibbutz Be'eri, where 13 out of 14 Israelis were killed. A source told Haaretz that "The instruction was meant to turn the area around the [Gaza] border fence into a killing zone, closing it off toward the west." Last November, Haaretz newspaper revealed that an Israeli military helicopter opened fire on Palestinians but wounded Israelis participating in a festival during an October 7th military operation. The Israeli military also released drone footage showing hundreds of scorched and damaged cars moved from the Nova music festival after being targeted with heavy weapons that are not owned by the resistance in Gaza.
