ISRAEL: In a provocative expression of discontent, Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israel’s Prime Minister, has taken to his Telegram channel to voice grievances regarding the execution of the Hannibal Directive on October 7. In a candid post, Netanyahu bemoaned what he perceived as a failure to fully implement the directive, a procedure designed to be a swift and forceful response to the capture of Israeli soldiers. According to his account, the military fell short of its expected actions, as the aircraft that were supposed to be airborne along the Gaza border failed to unleash the intended destruction on anything in motion, allowing for the apprehension of 256 prisoners.
“There is a procedure called the Hannibal Directive… The planes that were supposed to be in the air on the Gaza border, were supposed to destroy everything that moves there, crush everything, and thus we would not have 256 prisoners. The fact that did not bomb means that there is a big problem with the airforce,” he wrote.
