The IDF has confirmed that it killed 10 Islamic Jihad members on Saturday night. IDF confirmed killing 10 Islamic Jihad members on Saturday. It struck four terror targets in Gaza between 9 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Saturday night. The targets included a terror cell in southern Gaza planning to fire a projectile, a terrorist planning a rocket strike, and two rocket launch sites in northern Gaza. An additional terrorist in southern Gaza planning a rocket attack was also struck from the air on Saturday night. Furthermore, a cell in northern Gaza was also hit by the Air Force.But National Union's Arieh Eldad says that's not enough.
MK Arye Eldad (National Union) said, “After avoiding a military attack on the heads of terrorist organizations and instead surrendering to Hamas and freeing hundreds of murderers, we will now have to act.Of course, Eldad is in the opposition - his party and views were too right wing for Bibi.
“The excuse that Schalit will be hurt can no longer disguise the disgrace of our capitulation,” Eldad said.
“Now Israel must stop reacting and start preventing.
Only methodically wiping out the heads of terrorist organizations, especially [Hamas’s Ahmed] Jabari who held Schalit, will bring back our deterrence that was worn out by the deal [for Schalit’s release].”
What could go wrong?

For the IDF and Shin Bet, capitulation has been the default policy position since the 90s. I cannot remember any official actually advising the government to go over to the offense. Perhaps because Haaretz would disapprove and that would be a career-ender for any one in the Israeli elite.
What could go wrong indeed
