Good move then for him, bad one for the Palestinians.
Would you have preferred they attacked, killed, raped and took hostages from unarmed Civilians attending a festival and went back to their side of the fence with no retaliation? Silly question, don’t bother answering, of course you would!
Well, if you catch a thief stealing something worth a quid, you wouldn’t fine him a quid would you? He'd learn nothing from that lesson other than he won’t be any worse off if he gets caught again.
It's not enough to allow your opponents to attack you, and pretend surprise, you have to motivate them to do so.
That is why Israel has been killing, imprisoning and torturing so many Palestinians for decades.

I would far prefer that the Palestinians/Hamas were not motivated to respond to decades of murdering, torturing and imprisoning them, by Israel, with violence.
Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem has been occupied, by Israel, since 1967, despite multiple UN Resolutions to free the Palestinians, return West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem back to the original UN Resolution of 1947.
