 Amos Harel of "Haaretz" wrote in November 2011 that the Hannibal directive was suspended for a time "due to opposition from the public and reservist soldiers" and not revised and reinstated until after the abduction of Gilad Shalit in June 2006.Then, the order stated that IDF commanders may take whatever action is necessary, even at the risk of endangering the life of an abducted soldier, to foil the abduction, but it does not allow them to kill an abducted Israeli soldier.Harel writes, however, that a kind of "Oral Law" has developed inside IDF, which is supported by many commanders, even at brigade and division level.
