'67 "pre-emptive" strike is a fancy way of saying: cowardly, unprovoked, sneak attack (invasion) on the Egyptian air force for air supremacy, which was also an act of total war.
Thank you for this excellent resource, which I will recommend to many. You've done us a great service in presenting the facts and providing references, graphs, statistics.
But in the meantime, the first kidnapping videos are already coming, and the command also understands that at least in this respect, it's a whole new event. This is the moment when the IDF decides on the return of the "Hannibal Directive".
In 1986, after the abduction and murder of two IDF soldiers by Hezbollah, a new, secret and controversial order was introduced to the IDF. The task section of the command reads "Immediate Detection of the Hannibal Event, Delaying / Stopping the Abductive Power at All Costs and Release of Abductions". The original command stated that, "During a kidnapping, the main task becomes to rescue our soldiers from the abductors, even at the cost of harming or injuring". According to the press, the command was changed in 2016, softened, and its name was also changed. Its current wording has not been revealed, but it has been made clear that actions that would jeopardize the abductee's life should be avoided.
The "7 Days" investigation reveals that at noon on October 7, the IDF instructed all of its actual combat units on "Hannibal Procedure”, although without clearly stating this explicit name. The order is to stop "at all costs" any attempt by Hamas terrorists to return to Gaza, using a language very similar to the original "Hannibal Directive”, despite repeated assurances by the security system that the procedure was canceled.
The actual meaning of the command is that the main purpose is to stop the withdrawal of the Nukhba operatives. And if they have taken hostages with them - then even if it meant risk or harm to the lives of civilians in the area, including the kidnapped themselves.
According to some evidence, the Air Force operated during those hours on a directive to prevent arrival from Gaza to Israel, and return from Israel to Gaza. It is estimated that in the area between the envelope and the strip, about a thousand terrorists and infiltrators were killed. It is unclear at this point how many of the kidnapped were killed due to executing this command on the 7th of October. In the week following Black Sabbath, soldiers of elite units, tasked by the Southern Command, examined about 70 vehicles remaining in the area between the envelope and the strip. These are vehicles that did not arrive in Gaza because they suffered fire from a combat helicopter, a drone, or a tank, and in at least some cases everyone in the vehicle was killed.
Too many misrepresentations, half truths, to accept your premise. The “Palestinians” did not “own” the land for anyone to claim it was stolen. Your premise is flawed.

Yea, I have seen that. It seems more is coming out every week or so.
* "even at the cost of harming or injuring our soldiers"
