I can understand their sense of urgency.
Opinions are fine. When they jeopardize a mission they are no longer something we can afford. Waging war by crying Havoc is no longer done by any of the civilized countries. Crying Havoc will earn a country the "terrorist" title.
The old expression, "One person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist" is no longer a acceptable reasoning for terrorism. Any Military tactic that places the civilian population in a very high risk situation will be viewed harshly and may earn the title of a act of terrorism.
In so many ways, this is a wonderful blessing, that the world collective conscience has moved forward enough to no longer accept inhuman actions as normal.
The problems in Israel is not just a local problem, it is part of the GWOT. We, globally, have got to become united and end the sponsorship that terrorists have been receiving from countries who have politically gained from those acts.
One person's freedom fighter just may be their terrorist tomorrow. GWOT is humanity Vs Terrorism. Our planet has just gotten too small for this nonsense.
