The escape from Gilboa Prison is another stage in the erosion of Israeli deterrence in everything related to the treatment of terrorism in the Gaza Strip and the northern West Bank. The Israeli inclusion policy has failed, the IDF must immediately change the methods of dealing with terrorism to creative and new methods that will bring results.
The escape of the 5 terrorists from Gilboa Prison is another stage in the dangerous erosion of Israeli deterrence in the face of Palestinian terrorism that has intensified in recent months on the Gaza Strip border and also in northern Judea and Samaria in the Nablus and Jenin areas.
Israeli inclusion policy in the face of Palestinian terrorism failed miserably, terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip blackmail the Israeli government through terrorist activities on the border fence to disturb the peace and security of residents of the surrounding communities, the Israeli military response to the launching of incendiary balloons, the "nightly harassment". The bombing of empty and well-dug Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip is not the proper answer to strengthen deterrence.
The Israeli government is reluctant to exacerbate the Israeli military response, for example, beyond the targeted assassinations of terrorist operatives and their commanders in the Gaza Strip, the IDF does not have creative and original response plans that can rehabilitate Israeli deterrence against Palestinian terrorism. The Israeli government wants to contain the security situation, but the events could spiral out of control and degenerate into a new war, both on the southern border and on the northern front, since Hamas is building a new terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
In the northern West Bank, too, the security situation is unstable. Trying to infiltrate Israel to carry out attacks, the terrorist hotline in Jenin also deters the PA, which fears a confrontation between its security personnel and the militants, mainly Hamas operatives and Islamic Jihad.
