Again, you are misusing this term "Colonial:" See • Posting #3176 • Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border.
(COMMENT)Israeli settlers are cannon fodder for Israel's settler colonial project.
The tactical danger to Israeli Sovereign Territory is not any less dangerous than the tactical danger to Israeli activities in Area "C" threats.
To my knowledge, Israel, as a nation, and the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) do not consider people and personnel as an expendable supply or combat consumable (cannon fodder). The use of people and personnel in the role of an expendable is well below the threshold of their value and potential. It is not a concept in the vocabulary of an ethical nation or operational military decision process. While the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) may use their own people to in the role of shields, hostages and concealment devices, it is NOT the policy of Israel to exploit “the civilian population and individual citizens." It is the purpose of the IDF, and the associated police, security services, and emergency responders that civilian population and individual citizens enjoy the general protection against the dangers arising from both allied and hostile military operations.
Further, it is NOT the policy of the State of Israel to utilize the presence of any civilian population in a role to prevent or delay any legitimate military target, from an attack from the opposing force. It is also not a policy or a tactical practice of the IDF to intentionally position any civilian population for the sole purpose of staging a media event or purposely set the conditions such that civilian casualties would be incurred.
While the HoAP has demonstrated over and over again the callous indifference for the life of its civilian population and acted in direct and intentional violation of Customary and International Humanitarian Law, the Israelis do not condone or encourage such actions.

Why would Israel negotiate with terrorists?
Show proof that Israel is an internationally recognized terror group. Hamas is.
