I don't know if Hannibal was ordered or not but personally, if my son had been abducted and was in the back of a truck heading in to Gaza and overwhelmed by militants, I'd shoot and blow it off the road. He'd expect it.

It's the assumption that Israeli deaths from the IDF = Israel bad that is making most people just react instead of think.
If there were some deaths, deliberate or not, from the IDF that prevented Israelis from being kidnapped and slowly tortured to death, is that necessarily a bad thing?
Is it possible one of the reasons Israel avoids total denial, because they know we're not able to have a nuanced discussion around this in the current climate?
Where might we be right now, if Hamas wasn't able to take any hostages alive?
I'd rather be killed than taken.
