"How they let it happen" refers to our finding that there is a link between the foreknowledge Netanyahu had for at least a year that Hamas was planning something, and a selfie an American-Israeli took in which he is heard saying that "they allowed it to happen." The latter hints at a question: What has happened? This brings us to the finding that there is a difference between what took place and what has happened.
"What took place" refers to the surprise resistance operation itself and how the Israeli war belligerent responded. "What has happened" refers to events that have led to the operation and during the aftermath. This section of the website shows what has happened and how events developed into other issues.
What you need to know about the Hannibal doctrine:
In Israeli military terms, the Hannibal Doctrine is a controversial procedure used to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers by enemy forces. However, on October 7, 2023, it appeared that the doctrine was used in a conflating manner, as it was to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers and civilians by Hamas.
The Hannibal Doctrine was also used in conjunction with the Dahiya Doctrine to end the captivity of Israelis taken to Gaza.
The Dahiya Doctrine is an Israeli military strategy aimed at the large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure in the Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut in 2008 to pressure Hezbollah to surrender. In doing so, the Israelis did not shy away from killing civilians as well. This doctrine has been used since the introduction of the "starve or surrender" strategy aimed at resistance fighters in Northern Gaza, invented in September 2024 by retired Israeli general Giroa Eiland, and implemented in November 2024.
