اجرای پروتکل «هانیبال» از بیم اسیر شدن نظامی اسرائیلی

Israeli media report four Israeli soldiers killed or wounded adn the activation of the “Hannibal” protocol too prevent the capture of an Israeli soldier.

According to the English section⁢ of webangah News Agency, ⁤citing Mehr News Agency and Al Jazeera, Israeli media have reported one soldier killed and three others critically injured in a ‍security incident in Gaza.

These sources also noted attempts to capture an israeli⁣ soldier in Gaza.

The Israeli media mentioned the activation of the Hannibal protocol during this security ‍event due to fears that an Israeli soldier⁤ might be ‍taken captive.

It is worth noting ⁢that since 1986, ⁣after several Israeli soldiers were captured by Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel implemented the Hannibal protocol ⁢to prevent soldiers⁣ from being taken prisoner.

Under this ⁢directive, the Israeli​ military is tasked with preventing any abductions⁢ of its personnel. In essence, the Hannibal protocol means “eliminate your⁢ own soldier at all costs rather than allow their capture.” Reports have confirmed cases where Israeli forces targeted their own troops under this order.

The name for this protocol derives from the‌ past figure Hannibal Barca, a Carthaginian general‍ who committed suicide by poison to avoid capture by Roman⁣ soldiers.

This doctrine has been employed during ⁣incidents such⁢ as the Shebaa Farms ‍conflict in 2000, the 22-day Gaza war in 2009, Operation Protective Edge in 2014,‌ and Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in 2023.
