The Black Friday

In the summer of 2014, Israel launched a large scale military attack on Gaza Strip, which lasted for 51 days. On Friday, August 1st, the Israeli Occupation Forces executed the Hannibal directive. The Hannibal directive is an emergency military tactic, it dictates that a capture of a soldier must be foiled at any cost, even if it leads to the destruction of the target area, civilians, and endangering the captured and other Israeli soldier. The Human Rights organizations have documented 140 Palestinian kills during what the Palestinians came to call “The Black Friday.”
