  • Le massacre de 130 Palestiniens est la réponse à la capture d’un soldat israélien dans le cadre du protocole Hannibal : ’Hannibal’ protocol was employed in bid to rescue Hadar Goldin

    These forces also laid down heavy fire “from all directions,” including tank shells, artillery bombardments and air strikes, in an effort to isolate the area where Goldin was thought to be, block all access routes to and from it and thereby ensure that nobody could either enter or leave without the soldiers noticing, the IDF source said. This was in line with the Hannibal procedure, which one senior officer said is meant to ensure that “every effort to locate the kidnapped [soldier] and the kidnappers” is made.

    According to Palestinian reports, more than 130 Palestinians were killed in this onslaught, with some of the bodies located only in the days after it happened. Palestinians also accused the IDF of attacking vehicles en route to the Rafah hospital, including several ambulances.

    La présentation de la procédure Hannibal par le Haaretz est d’une étrange naïveté (hum) : il s’agirait donc de bombarder massivement l’intégralité du secteur, en tuant absolument tout le monde, en ciblant explicitement « des cibles » et en détruisant des véhicules, y compris des ambulances, mais seulement dans le but de « localiser » le soldat « kidnappé » (ou, comme l’indique le titre, de le « sauver »). Comme si le soldat israélien avait la moindre chance de survivre dans cet enfer.
