2 reasons mainly:
1) Attacking from Gaza is probably a lot easier. The West Bank is made up of 165 different islands of land that are under Palestinian Authority control and which are separated by Israeli-occupied areas.
2) Hamas are scum, so they're happy to murder innocent civilians. The softer the target the better, from their perspective. So they'd much rather murder a bunch of people at a music festival or families in their homes than have to go up against well-defended Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
But that doesn't change how problematic Israeli settlements and their policies in the West Bank are.
