The whole point of the Hannibal Directive [ or a Hannibal Directive, in the comprehensive form ] is that if you allow yourself [ as a civilian] to be taken prisoner or hostage, you can kiss your ass goodbye.
Same applies to soldiers, of course.
In order to improve the level of motivation not to be taken captive or a hostage.

They were supposed to have ended the Hannibal directive in 2016, but anyways this seems a bit different as they were not trying to prevent the capture of soldiers -- they had no idea the identity of those surrendering.

A reasonable guess would be Hamas human shields.
So, a kind of encompassing Hannibal directive : Gazans , other human shields, and hostages as honorary soldiers.
Hannibal directive with bells and whistles.
