The “Friendly Fire” Debate. New testimonies from the Eitam Rescue Unit suggest IDF tanks fired on civilian homes in Be’eri on October 7. Here are 5 facts about the “Hannibal Directive” claims.
1. The Witness
Members of the Eitam Rescue Unit (volunteers) were on the ground. They told Israeli Channel 12 they saw tanks and helicopters firing heavy munitions into the kibbutz while hostages were present.
2. The “Hannibal” Protocol
This controversial (and supposedly revoked) directive allows the army to risk the life of a captured soldier to prevent them from being taken hostage. Critics argue this logic was applied to civilians on Oct 7.
3. The Tank Incident
Specific testimony describes a tank shelling a house in Be’eri. This aligns with reports of Brig. Gen. Barak Hiram ordering troops to “break in” despite civilian risks.
4. Visual Evidence
Police helicopter footage has surfaced showing tank fire near Pessi Cohen’s house, corroborating the rescue unit’s ground-level accounts.
5. The Big Question
Was it panic or policy? The debate centers on whether this was accidental “fog of war” or a calculated decision to stop Hamas from taking captives to Gaza at any cost.
