Because killing unarmed civilians definitely gives them a military advantage in the conflict /s
More like, "have you tried attacking only military targets and not massacring civilians"?
they can not do that.
Copied from another comment:
- Hamas sets up military operations in a civilian building by force - the civilians have no say in this and get killed if they protest
- Hamas then uses that building to launch rockets, store ammunition, communication stations
How the fuck should Israel proceed to neutralize those sites? Because what they do is:
- "Roof knocking": Hitting the building's roof with a small explosive to announce that it will fall in 15 minutes (see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teevWpXlRZY example from yesterday)
- Automatic SMS and phone calls impacted areas warning and urging to evacuate
- Precision strikes that make the building fall vertically with minimal damage to the areas
As a result, civilians (and potentially military personnel) are given a chance to evacuate while ammunition stashes, rocket launching stations etc stay in the building and are destroyed.
To be honest, I'm shocked those protocols are still used after Hamas's attack. I would absolutely not be surprised of these measures stopped.

With its increased leverage in this round, Hamas is likely to push harder for concessions on key issues, such as easing the blockade and winning the release of prisoners held by Israel.
What idiot wrote this? What leverage does Hamas have? They will be destroyed in this war.
EDIT: Israel has officially decided to destroy Hamas for good. Article in hebrew: https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/bjso00d111t

Yes, Hamas will still have their stated goal of killing all Israelis and taking all of the country.
