Did Kidnapped Israeli Soldier Follow IDF Hannibal Protocol, Blow Himself and Kidnappers Up? by Phyllis Chesler Breitbart August 1, 2014 http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/1349/did-kidnapped-israeli-soldier-follow-idf-hannibal Print Send RSS Share: Be the first of your friends to like this. Shortly after this latest exercise in futility (aka a cease-fire) began, Hamas fired at Israeli civilians and IDF targets, killing two Israeli soldiers—and perhaps kidnapping a third soldier, 23 year-old Second Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, from Kfar Saba. A Hamas homicide (suicide) bomber near Rafah is suspected in this attack upon the Givati Brigade. Secretary of State John Kerry found the kidnapping and truce-breaking "outrageous" and an "affront." The EU did not condemn Hamas but "regrets the breakdown of the cease-fire." Egypt has postponed the planned "peace" talks. The United Nations claims that it does not know which side is telling the truth. However, Hamas may have captured a soldier who had orders to blow himself and his kidnappers up. The IDF is resolved to avoid giving Hamas the "weapon" of an Israeli captive like Gilad Shalit, an IDF soldier kidnapped in 2006. Thus, Goldin may have not been captured-- or, rather, may not have been captured alive. He may have been under orders to blow himself and his kidnappers up with his own grenade; IDF troops may have obeyed an order to fire upon the vehicle in which the kidnappers were fleeing. Goldin and his abductors may be wounded or dead. Or not. The exact scenario is not yet entirely clear. But one thing is: From now on, the Hannibal Protocol will be strictly enforced. Earlier today, Israel Radio military correspondent, Carmella Menashe reported that "the moment it was realized that Second Lieutenant Hadar Goldin may have been kidnapped the IDF engaged in massive fire in the area where the terrorists might be with Goldin." » CONTINUE READING
