After which, the people of Gaza elected Hamas, who campaigned on the total extermination of the Jews, wherever they hid. And then proceeded to attack Israel with rockets, suicide attacks and finally 10/7 for almost 20 years.

The only thing that will change the calculus of this conflict is for the Arab world to jettison their anti-Semitism and enter the 21st century.

No need for a full war. The IDF likely knows where most terrorists & their weaponry are located
