Reports suggest the IDF authorized strikes on its own forces to prevent Hamas capturing them on October 7, implementing the controversial "Hannibal Directive." This policy, allowing soldiers to k-ill comrades to prevent capture, was reportedly used at multiple locations.
The IDF created a "k-illing zone" along the Gaza border, raising questions about potential friendly fire incidents.
With over 1,100 Israelis k-illed and 250 taken hostage, investigations are ongoing.
The directive's origins trace back to a 1986 Hezbollah kidnapping.
