"An Israeli child completely incinerated at Kibbutz Be’eri was killed by two tank shells shot by Israeli forces at the end of an hours-long gun battle, a survivor of the same carnage told the Israeli state broadcaster Kan earlier this month.
"Yasmin Porat, taken captive with at least a dozen other Israeli civilians on 7 October, told Kan radio that a fellow captive, 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni, survived to the end of the battle and only died when Israeli forces fired two tank shells at the house where they were held hostage by Hamas fighters."

Yet another example of Israel's Hannibal Directive designed to prevent any hostage negotiations which might require Israel to release political prisoners being held in its jails and prisons.
"The Hannibal Directive[edit]
"According to Haaretz reporter Leibovich-Dar, the motivation for the directive was the capture of two Israeli soldiers during a Hezbollah ambush in South Lebanon in June 1986."Both soldiers presumably died during the attack, and their bodies were returned to Israel in an exchange with Hezbollah in 1996.
"The directive developers were three top officers of the IDF Northern Command: Major General Yossi Peled, the command's operations officer; Colonel Gabi Ashkenazi; and the intelligence officer, Colonel Yaakov Amidror.
"The order was secret, and its existence was denied by Israeli military authorities."
