‘Destroy Gaza including kidnapped soldiers’ – leaked clip again proves Israel’s Hannibal Directive

A leaked recording of senior Israeli military officers – and fascist ‘security minister’ Itamar Ben-Gvir – has again proven that Israel ordered the killing of its own people on 7 October 2023. This is the so-called Hannibal Directive.

The short clip was released with English subtitles at the weekend by independent journalist @ireallyhateyou, but first aired on Israel’s Channel 12 in February 2026. It shows Israel’s police command centre as it responded to the unfolding Palestinian raid across the border into southern Israel. S/he said of the clip:

In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, while conversing with Israel’s Police Chief Kobi Shabtai, another senior officer calls to implement the Hannibal Directive, and destroy Gaza along with the Israeli captives. Minister Itamar Ben Gvir later arrives and orders to stop filming the meeting.

15 hours of Hannibal Directive

The clip was shot very early on the morning of the raid. We know this because Israeli forces conducted ‘Hannibal Directive attacks’ on its own people, on average around three times an hour, from just after 6am that day until after 9pm. The Hannibal order was clarified as “kill anything that moves” – hundreds of Israelis were killed, including most of those slain at the ‘Nova’ music festival.

Israeli media admit this. Israeli military figures have admitted killing an “immense” number of their own people. Israel’s then-defence minister, wanted war criminal Yo’av Gallant, admitted it – and said he wished it had been used more. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly even tried to have one specific captured soldier killed before his release from Gaza to prevent a ceasefire.

UK politicians and media continue to keep silent about it – and even attack those who expose it. This allows the Israel lobby to keep lying about that day, claiming atrocities that were disproven almost as soon as the claims were made. UK politicians and media keep silent about those debunked lies, too.

Israel is a terror state and the UK establishment is its enabler.
