The fights between the Palestinian resistance led in particular by Hamas and the occupation forces continue.
In this war, it is the fate of at least 200 hostages captured by the Palestinians who attract all the attention. If the two parties have not yet committed negotiations, Israel is considering the secret Hannibal directive.
The Israeli army, which also strives to release hostages, has the “Hannibal directive” in its arsenal. A secret protocol that has existed since the 1980s to settle hostage taking by soldiers and high Israeli military officers.
“We don’t give anything to the hostage lessee, we don’t speak with him, we try to kill him. Even if it makes a risk of the life of detained hostages run, “summarizes Renaud Girard, war reporter. “Hannibal is this great Carthaginian chief who committed suicide rather than going to the Romans. This is what this procedure means for the Israeli army: we do not negotiate, we do not give in to the enemy, we put all the means against him, “he explained.
The idea, he specifies in Franceinfo, is therefore not to give money, to preserve itself from negotiations for possible liberation from Palestinian prisoners.
