What did we all say?

Those of us who had the slightest bit of sense made it clear that Israeli military forces had killed their own countrymen and women on October 7; now that country’s government has admitted it:

Israel’s army on Tuesday admitted that an “immense and complex quantity” of what it calls “friendly fire” incidents took place on 7 October.

It is the first known official army admission that a significant number of the hundreds of Israelis who died on 7 October were killed by Israel itself, and not by Hamas or other Palestinian resistance factions.

Citing new data released by the Israeli military, [Yoav Zitun, the military correspondent of Israeli outlet Ynet] wrote that: “Casualties fell as a result of friendly fire on October 7, but the IDF [Israeli military] believes that … it would not be morally sound to investigate” them.

He reported that this was “due to the immense and complex quantity of them that took place in the kibbutzim and southern Israeli communities.”

The Ynet article also reported that “at least” one fifth of the Israeli army deaths in Gaza since the ground invasion began were also due to “friendly fire” incidents.

To This Writer, the admission adds fuel to the claim of the ‘Party Flowers’ group, relatives of people who died at the Nova music festival, that an official inquiry is vital.

As the article quoted above states,

Israel does indeed appear to be covering up a lot of the evidence.

There has been a steadily growing mountain of evidence that many – if not most – Israelis killed that day were killed by Israel itself.

And there’s been an admission that the so-called ‘Hannibal Directive’ was followed by the IDF on October 7:

An Israeli air force colonel admitted to a Hebrew podcast that they blew up Israeli homes in the settlements but insisted they never did so “without permission.”

Colonel Nof Erez also said that 7 October was a “mass Hannibal” event – a reference to a controversial Israeli military doctrine.

Named after an ancient Carthaginian general who poisoned himself rather than be captured alive, the Hannibal Directive allows Israeli forces to take any means necessary to stop Israelis being captured alive – even at the cost of killing the captives.
