Shai Alon, head of the council of Beit El, north of Jerusalem, had this to say:

""I support Defense Minister Israel Katz on his aggressive policy and determined decision to destroy the terror camps in the West Bank. Given the fact that there are hundreds of terrorists throughout the settlements, a different operational approach from the previous one in Gaza is required.

"Everyone knows to say in hindsight that the Gaza Strip should have been encircled at once from north and south, to deliver a powerful strike and block Hamas terrorists' ability to move from place to place so they couldn't prepare for forces arriving at the next target.

"The failed reality in Gaza has claimed the lives of many fighters and failed in the central objective of toppling Hamas. I call on the Defense Minister to wake up and change policy in the war in the West Bank. Don't make Gaza's mistake - act horizontally. The encirclement of Palestinian cities must be done in minimal time."
