Numerous Israeli captives have been killed by Israeli army fire since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip
Five of the six Israeli captives whose bodies were returned to Israel following an army operation this week had suffocated to death due to an attack by troops on the tunnel they were being held in, Hebrew news outlet Ynet reported on 20 August.
The bodies were recovered and brought back to Israel on Tuesday after an overnight recovery operation in Gaza’s southern city of Khan Yunis, the army announced.
Ynet says the autopsy of one of the captives showed he had been shot dead by a captor.
“Apart from him, the main assessment regarding the circumstances of their deaths in captivity of the other five abductees whose bodies were recovered tonight (between Monday and Tuesday) from Khan Yunis is that they were killed by suffocation in the tunnel where they were held – as an incidental result of an IDF attack,” it added.
The report adds that the “attack in question took place during the operation of the 98th Division in the area, about six months ago.”

2/10 -- Did Toxic Gas from Israeli Bombs Kill 3 Hostages in Gaza?
In mid-December, the Israeli army discovered the bodies of three of the hostages kidnapped from southern Israel to the Gaza Strip on October 7: the soldiers Ron Sherman and Nik Beizer, and the civilian Elia Toledano.
Their families were initially informed that the three men had been killed in Hamas captivity, but Maayan, the mother of Sherman, soon declared otherwise
"“Ron was indeed murdered,” she wrote on her Facebook page on Jan. 16, but “not by Hamas.” Instead, she asserted, her son was killed by “bombings with poisonous gasses.” - by Israel"
Given the Hannibal Directive exists, it isn’t hard to imagine the spirit of it - that Israeli hostages are a strategic liability, and are better dead than alive - still lives on, and applies even after the October 7th attack.
If the Hannibal Directive applied on the day, it probably applied after. WHY would the Israeli army prefer hostages to die rather than make it across the border into Gaza as a hostage? Because hostages gives the Gazans' leverage politically....
Because Hostages... forces Israeli leadership to make potential concessions due to the political pressure to save lives the Israeli leaders do not care about…(they’re just expendable "pawns" in a "chess game" in the eyes of Israeli leadership after all…[they)
