The Zionist regime’s confessions; Hannibal protocol and war crimes in Gaza
Mehr News Agency, International Group : Iraqi political analyst and activist, an exclusive note entitled “Zionist regime confessions; Hannibal Protocol and War Crimes in Gaza »To the International Group Mehr News Agency which follows the full text:
On October 5, the Palestinian resistance carried out the operation of the Zionist regime against the world, staring the image of the so-called invincible army and destroying its alleged balance and domination in the region. The army, which was not able to respond effectively to resistance, began to kill innocent civilians. The Zionist occupation forces began brutal and widespread military operations that led to the martyrdom and wounding of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
recently revealed media reports that the Zionist regime’s army had issued commands to activate the Hannibal Protocol on that day; That is, a military approach that permits the use of lethal force to prevent the captivity of the military, even if it leads to their death. These confessions show serious violations by the occupation forces against Palestinian civilians and raise questions about their adherence to international and human law.
The Hannibal protocol, which was developed in the 1980s, is aimed at preventing captivity at any cost, even if this means sacrificing their lives. The activation of the protocol on October 5 led to blind bombings targeting civilian areas, including a music festival in which dozens of settlers were killed. This unnecessary use of force shows the gross disregard for civilians and reinforces the culture of immunity from the punishment imposed by the occupation forces.
In addition, Gaza saw systematic attacks on civilian infrastructure, service facilities and medical institutions at that time. International reports have recorded the documentation of attacks on hospitals and medical clinics, which led to the demolition of health infrastructure and their failure to provide primary services. The attacks not only destroyed buildings, but also led to the testimony and injury of many medical staff and patients. A report released by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in December shows that the attacks have disrupted the Gaza Health System and affected Palestinian access to medical care.
The occupying forces justify these brutal attacks by claiming tunnels or military activities under hospitals. However, these claims lack valid evidence. In some cases, Zionist authorities have admitted that these tunnels have been existing for decades and are now not a threat. For example, Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Minister of War, for example, pointed out that there was a tunnel under one of the hospitals of war, which raises questions about the motivations to target these facilities at present.
In addition, the occupation forces killed the displaced people in northern Gaza. Media cameras, along with human rights organizations, have documented dozens of massacres carried out by the occupation forces through aerial and artillery bombings, destroying complete residential blocks and martyred hundreds of civilians.
The occupying forces also used bohemian weapons such as robots and explosive barrels to target residential homes that resulted in more civilian casualties, and most of these casualties were among women and children.
These systematic attacks on civilians and medical facilities are a clear violation of international human law that protect civilians, hospitals and medical staff from targeting targets. The destruction of health infrastructure exacerbates civilians, especially in the shadow of the unfair siege imposed on Gaza and restricts access to essential medical supplies.
The Zionists’ confession to activate the Hannibal protocol and target medical facilities in Gaza highlights the need to conduct independent international research on these violations. Those responsible for these crimes must be tried to prevent justice and prevent them from being repeated in the future. The international community must also take urgent measures to protect Palestinian civilians in Gaza and guarantee their access to basic services without threatening their lives.
In the end, these events reflect the bitter reality that the Palestinian people are occupied, where their lives and property are constantly in danger. Lightening these violations and trying to trial their perpetrators is a key step towards the end of occupation and achieving justice and peace in the region.
