MK Hanoch Milwitsky (Religious Zionism) on Sunday demanded an immediate overhaul of the IDF's rules of engagement following the recent terror attack at Havat Gilad. Milwitsky said soldiers are afraid to open fire on terrorists who steal IDF weapons due to 'legal madness' in the military, calling the situation a 'deep operational failure.' The demand adds to growing political pressure on the IDF to review its open-fire protocols. On Saturday, MK Boaz Bismuth (Likud), chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, also called for an examination of the rules of engagement, citing poor IDF performance in the attack. The attack and the subsequent debate have highlighted tensions between the military's legal constraints and the security needs of communities in Judea and Samaria.
