A reddit thread supposedly debunking the IDF's Oct 7 "mass Hannibal" friendly fire response is now a top google result if you search "oct 7 mass hannibal".
old. reddit. com/r/IsraelPalestine/ comments/1fcmh39/ there_was_no_mass_hannibal_on_october_7th/
claims include:
- (in comments) that Israeli air force colonel Nof Erez, who described Oct 7 as a "mass hannibal," was fired in July 2023 and did not take part in fighting on Oct 7
- So far I haven't found any evidence for this but I haven't scoured the internet
- that most Israeli deaths occurred deeper in Israeli territory, while most Hannibal deaths are implied to have been on the border
- They have a map of the supposed locations of deaths. The github does not give a paper trail for the data, as far as I can tell
- I'm also not convinced that the "mass Hannibal" account emphatically puts deaths elsewhere
there are other claims but I'll post this edit now, I'm still reading
done 👍
