I feel like “just leave Hamas alone, it isn’t worth it” is a supremely retarded take even if you’re against Israel or sympathetic to the Palestinians. Regardless, they are terrorists who just showed the world they don’t mind stabbing, shooting, and savagely brutalizing innocent women, children, and the elderly. And they absolutely will do it again. So I think it’s kind of a given that you have to at least try to kill their leaders, bomb any place they have weapons stockpiled, and destroy their tunnels and locations they work out of. Doing it without harming innocent civilians would be optimal of course. But there’s really no path forward in which IDF could just say “nah not worth it, we’ll just give up on the military targets” and leave Hamas alone.
