Israeli Army Admits Chopper Attack Killed 7 Oct Captive

Israeli attack helicopters, drones, and tanks killed many of the 1,200 Israeli civilians and soldiers who died during Hamas' Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The Israeli army released a statement on 5 April where it admitted that Efrat Katz, 68, was likely killed by Israeli helicopter fire that targeted a vehicle with Hamas fighters taking her captive to Gaza on 7 October.

"It appears that during the battles and the airstrikes, one of the combat helicopters that took part in the fighting, fired at a vehicle that had terrorists in it, and which, in retrospect, based on the testimonies, also had hostages in it," read the statement.

"As a result of the fire, most of the terrorists manning the vehicle were killed, and most likely, Efrat Katz was killed as well." Her body is said to remain in Gaza.

The army claimed that according to its investigation, the Israeli captives present in the vehicle "could not be distinguished by the existing surveillance systems." The commander of the Air Force "did not find fault in the operation by the helicopter crew, who operated in compliance with the orders in a complex reality of war," the statement added.

Israel's Channel 12 reported in December that Katz had been killed by Israeli helicopter fire, citing the testimony of Katz' grown daughter, Doron Katz-Asher. Doron explained that she and her two young daughters were injured in the same helicopter strike.

While the army claims Katz's killing was an accident, Israeli media has elsewhere reported that the military leadership issued the Hannibal Directive on 7 October. The controversial directive orders Israeli forces to deliberately kill their own soldiers or civilians if they are being taken captive by an enemy.

This indicates that the army's killing of Katz and its killing of many other Israelis who died on 7 October may have been deliberate. Hamas wished to take Israeli captives to exchange for the thousands of Palestinians held captive in Israeli prisons.
