bilby commented on the word Hannibal procedure
"The fatal shooting by Israeli soldiers of an Israeli man earlier this week as he tried to scale a fence into the Gaza Strip was reportedly part of a drastic procedure the army was supposed to have phased out several years ago. The Israeli media reported that Yakir Ben-Melech, 34, had bled to death after he was shot under the Hannibal procedure, designed to prevent Israelis from being taken captive alive by enemy forces."
