Matt Miller is the Spokesperson for the State Department The State Department is responsible for ensuring weapons provided to foreign nations are used properly. Also for implementation of us Foreign Policy: One would think a country having a policy that requires they use US weapons to kill civilians would be something the state department should be aware of

THE HANNIBAL DIRECTIVE HISTORY AND HOW IT WAS ACTIVATED DURING OCT. 7TH 🇮🇱🇵🇸 The Hannibal Directive, a controversial Israeli military policy introduced in 1986, was initially developed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in response to the capture of three soldiers by Hezbollah in Lebanon. Named after the Carthaginian general Hannibal, who chose death over capture, the directive aimed to prevent the abduction of Israeli soldiers by authorizing the use of maximum force, even if it risked the lives of the captured soldiers themselves. Drafted by Northern Command leaders following a series of costly prisoner exchanges—viewed as unfavorable to Israel—the policy reflected a strategic preference for thwarting enemy captures over preserving the lives of hostages, prioritizing national security and deterrence over individual safety. Kept secret for years under military censorship, the directive emerged from a context of asymmetric warfare, where captured soldiers could be leveraged for significant political concessions, as seen in exchanges like the 1985 Ahmad Jibril deal. Over time, its use sparked ethical debates, with critics arguing it violated the IDF’s moral code, leading to its official revocation in 2016 by then-Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, though questions lingered about whether it was ever fully abandoned. On October 7, 2023, during Hamas’s attack on southern Israel, evidence suggests the Hannibal Directive was reactivated and expanded beyond its original scope. As Palestinian fighters breached Israeli borders, targeting military bases and settlements, the IDF faced chaos and uncertainty about the scale of abductions. Reports from Israeli media, including a detailed Haaretz investigation, indicate that the directive was invoked as early as 7:18 a.m. at the Erez crossing, with orders to use drones, helicopters, and tanks to prevent vehicles—potentially carrying Israeli captives—from returning to Gaza. A blanket order at 11:22 a.m. stated, “Not a single vehicle can return to Gaza,” implying a willingness to sacrifice civilians and soldiers alike to foil Hamas’s objectives. Testimonies from survivors, such as those from Kibbutz Be’eri, where tank shells killed hostages, and accounts of helicopter fire on fleeing civilians, align with admissions from former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in 2025, who confirmed its “tactical” use in some areas.
