According to the briefings, reassuring messages were sent to Israel from Hamas that the shooting was not intentional at first.

A few words of criticism: I very much hope that the army and the new political echelon will stop believing the Hamas. Almost any attack, and long-range "non-combatant" shootings, The IDF justifies the attacks by briefing military reporters as "mistakes" or "lone" attacks. The stabbing and shooting attacks in the "wake of a family dispute", or by explaining that the sniper attack that took place three days ago was carried out by a "rebellious person" and without Hamas' knowledge.

There will probably be a response to the shooting, but one that will take out of duty, observation posts, underground infrastructure, etc. Tomorrow at the cabinet meeting there may be "hold me" - style threats from the prime minister and defense minister.

The Israeli political "leaders" must stop this aim of "keeping the quiet" at all costs. Israel is looking weak to the Arabs on the streets and encourages them to attack all the more.
