In light of mounting reports on #Israel’s military deploying the Hannibal directive on 7 Oct in the Gaza envelope, we urge an immediate int’l investigation to provide a full picture of what unfolded. The more time passes, the more difficult it would be to preserve evidence!
The latest report on 7 Oct highlights that “28 fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm. We’re talking about 100s of 30-millimetre cannon mortars & Hellfire missiles”.
srael has recently began dismantling the Nahal Oz military outpost & the Pasi Cohen house in Kibbutz Ba’ari before any independent investigation has been carried out there. Israel also reportedly prevented the US from collecting evidence from IDF soldiers involved in 7 Oct
The use of the Hannibal directive is a serious violation of international law that warrants an independent investigation of its own alongside investigating the atrocities committed on that fateful day.
Independent investigations into the events of 7 Oct in terms of both the IDF’s & Hamas’ actions are essential to uncover the truth, hold those responsible accountable, & ensuring justice for the victims & their loved ones.
