Hamas has found a new method of warfare that neutralizes the expected reactions in light of similar IDF incidents in the past. There was the destruction of one facility or another and whether it was the destruction of a tunnel or sometimes the elimination of some terrorists - inside Gaza, but no action was taken without response.
Now, it's been a few months since they ignited a '67 cross-line intifada.
About two weeks ago, the assassination of Eliyahu Kay in Jerusalem, towards the end of the week, a stampede in Umm al-Fahm and riots that lasted about two days.
Crime waves that threaten to trickle into areas where Jews live.
Riots in hospitals and elsewhere create deterrence from reaching those areas.

At the Nablus Gate on Saturday, the terrorists achieved what they wanted in a successful disinformation attack.
The attack of the "lone terrorists" continues.
There was an assassination attempt, which of course does not interest MK Ofer Kasif and Aida Toma Suleiman. It is natural for a Muslim to try to murder an ultra-Orthodox Jew, or an ordinary Jew. Nature.
The reaction of the Knesset members from the joint list marks the expected reactions in the world.
The fact that at the time of the shooting the terrorist was on the ground will become a story in the world.
The Israelis will rival among them, if this is another Elor case;
But the world and left-wing organizations it is not interesting.
What is important to them is that after a justified attack as part of the narrative of the struggle against the occupation, the Border Police fired at a "Palestinian."

But we must not take our eyes off the ball.
The war on terror continues.
Israel should concentrate on providing an appropriate response to the new type of Palestinian warfare.
Not smart to play defense all the time.
But this is due to coalition constraints.
Are there broader connections in this war?
May be so.
Israel's enemies want to plunge it into crises in all possible dimensions.
And the "Cross '67" intifada is part of this system.
They are also threatening to attack at an event to be held in Lod.
Even as part of a defensive activity, it is good that the attacking terrorist has been eliminated.
Soldiers must be given back, and the propaganda campaign of the left and the Palestinians must be transferred to the higher levels: police chiefs, the Minister of Internal Security and the Prime Minister.
It is incumbent on Amar Bar-Lev to neutralize the media complication, just as the Border Police neutralized the terrorist on the ground.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
