those who plan and execute attacks from the territories, Israel would not feel the need nor desire to engage in deterrence activities after such attacks to protect its civilians.

Whether you like it or not, and while no strategy is 100% effective, these types of deterrence measures work. It's like the wall in the West Bank that's now rarely discussed. Everyone on your end of the ideological spectrum hated it, but it exponentially decreased attacks from the West Bank.

Moreover, while you are always quick to blame Israel for slights real and imagined, I rarely, if ever, read about any demands you make of the Palestinian Authority, to say nothing of the world-recognized terrorist group Hamas that governs Gaza, to operate a government and justice system worthy of a independent state, including in how the PA treats its own citizens.
