“Israel killed its own people to avoid negotiations,” claims investigative Journalist Dan Cohen
Tel Aviv/Gaza: In a recent revelation amid the ongoing intense war between Israel and Hamas, investigative journalist and filmmaker Dan Cohen, known for his documentary ‘Killing Gaza’, disclosed a distressing account during an interview with former Fox News anchor Clayton Morris on his show ‘Redacted’.
Cohen stated that Israeli military bullets killed their own people, who were taken as hostages by Hamas during a crossfire.
According to Cohen, a survivor from the Kibbutz Be’eri, where Hamas initiated its initial attack, revealed in an interview with Israeli state media that, "It was very clear that the Israeli hostages were killed by Israeli bullets during a firefight with Hamas." Cohen further claimed that the Israeli government censored this interview to prevent it from reaching the Israeli public, creating a narrative that everything that transpired on October 7 was solely a Hamas terrorist attack, leaving no room for negotiation.
In a clip aired during the show, a woman survivor is heard describing the scene: "I see people from the Kibbutz on the lawn. There are 5 or 6 hostages lying on the ground outside, just like sheep to the slaughter. In the face of shooting by our commandos and the terrorists."
When asked whether they 'were shot down by terrorists,' she denies, stating that they were killed in the crossfire. The attempt to eliminate the abductors tragically led to the deaths of the hostages as well.
Cohen elaborated that the Israeli military was concealing the fact that Israel had no intentions for negotiations with Hamas and that they were prepared to kill everyone, even their own people. The censorship of this interview raised questions about what truly happened in Kibbutz and other places where Israelis were killed.
Citing an article from ‘Haaretz’, Cohen highlighted that several Be’eri residents were killed during an attempt to eliminate terrorists, with Israelis shelling bombs, resulting in the death of at least 112 occupants.
During the interview, Cohen discussed the Hannibal Directive, an Israeli military procedure designed to prevent Israeli soldiers from being captured by enemy forces, even if it means risking harm to the soldiers themselves. Cohen suggested that Israel was implementing this directive throughout the Gaza Strip, leading to the deaths of both Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians.
"What’s happening inside the Gaza Strip, where hundreds of Israelis are held hostage and captive by Hamas, and Israel is doing nothing publicly to secure their release, is alarming," Cohen asserted. He claimed that this situation indicated that Israel was implementing its Hannibal Directive policy throughout the Gaza Strip, resulting in the tragic loss of lives on both sides of the conflict.
