Think about what it means to order the killing of your own soldiers in order to prevent them from becoming part of a prisoner exchange.
It means that Israeli officials consider it a higher priority to keep detaining Palestinian men, women, and children without charge than to release some in exchange for those soldiers.
That logic is so obviously inhumane that Israel officially ended the Hannibal Directive policy on paper, yet obviously kept it in practice, because we now have many different reports of it being implemented on October 7. And we also know that the bombing campaign was organized through 2023 and 2024 in a way that many Israeli officials understood to be highly likely to kill captives Israelis in Gaza, as +972 has exposed.
October 7, 2023, early morning, Israel's police command center: "(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted."
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.

Catch of the Day- By the Numbers
Bryce Teodosio (4/10/26)
The best kind of highlight catch, the one nobody noticed! Just a 5% catch probability on this ball, though that's rounded up. 0% estimated success rate on Savant.
Teodosio ended the game with this beauty, covering 83 ft in just 4.2 seconds. His jump was recorded at an incredible 10.9 ft above average!
Olivia is objectively a terrible writer but what’s important to understand is that this type of stilted overwrought prose is a necessary feature of writing that’s about nothing but her own solipsistic self victimization delusions. Nothing happened! She just asked a dumb question!
