MK Tally Gotliv from Likud attacked in an interview with Dana Varon the open-fire regulations, the legal system, and the media, following two severe attacks in Samaria over the weekend. Gotliv claimed that the enemy knows soldiers won't shoot, and called on soldiers: "If a terrorist approaches you within less than two meters - shoot him in the head." She criticized the media's priorities, which she says focus on "Jewish terrorism" instead of Arab terrorism, and past and present security establishment officials, including Kochavi and Gantz. The attacks: On Friday, Maj. Yuval Ezra and Staff Sgt. Benyahu Melt were killed in a shooting attack at Havat Gilad; on Thursday, a volunteer was seriously wounded in a stabbing attack at Havat "Derech Avraham" near Elon Moreh.
