    I can think of a few:

    1. Special forces operations meticulously planned to clear out the tunnels, with both less lethal options and lethal options depending on whether resistance is armed or not.

    2. Using precision munitions on verified targets instead of levelling entire blocks

    3. Not turning off electricity to children’s hospitals

    4. Not starving people

    Even if you fully believe that Hamas should be and can be ripped out root and stem, cutting off electricity and food is completely inexcusable.

      I never said cutting off electricity and food is necessary. I agree that precision strikes (with prior notification to civilians) are the preferred way to destroy military targets, but I also think Israel has the right to go in and remove Hamas permanently. This would also cause civilian casualties, but Hamas has shown it’s not an organization that can be allowed to exist
