Israel's "Hannibal Directive" indicates that if an Israeli soldier is abducted he should blow himself up, rather than be taken into captivity.
Considering the case of Gilad Shalit, it's not clear if or when the directive is operational.
But with the developments today of Hamas rejecting the latest cease-fire truce, and the suspected kidnapping of IDF soldier Hadar Goldin, there's some chatter that the Israeli military operationalized Hannibal.
At Israel Matzav, "Report: IDF implemented Hannibal Protocol right after kidnapping, and Toronto's National Post, "Israel ... employs ‘Hannibal Procedure’ to bombard kidnappers’ escape routes — even if it kills captured soldier."

My Comment: The area where Hadar Goldin was kidnapped received some of the most intense bombardment of the war .... why bomb an area where you know that your fellow soldier may be there? Answer .... you bomb it because of the "Hannibal Directive".
Update: According to Richard Engel from NBC News (see below) .... Hamas believes that it's men tried to seize an IDF soldier .... but were subsequently killed .... along with the Israeli soldier.
So according to hamas, its men may have tried to grab soldier, then lost contact, were killed. Group says it doesn't have live captive
