And that’s different to victims of Hamas in what way?

And that’s different to Israel’s reprisals now, how?

The IDF is well financed

Try telling the average Israeli, they wouldn’t be better off with all Palestinians either removed from Gaza. Or have Gaza under full Israeli control.

It works both ways but the big difference is Israel can and, if necessary, will subjugate Gaza to prevent a reoccurrence of this incident.

Try as it might, Hamas cannot subjugate Israel.
I don't doubt that there are Israelis for whom nothing short of the genocide of the Palestinian people is an objective. Being a nation state simply legitimises it at the ballot box.

It's not really a question of who has the most money or most resource Hamas aren't really operating at a level they can reasonably expect to eliminate Israel. Neither will their successors. This exercise has demonstrated the innovative and intuitive ways that they can strike Israel where it hurts at a scale nobody expected. The main achievement is psychological. How safe are new settlements going to be?
