Israel's Approach to Dealing with Hamas

Israel has adopted a methodical approach in dealing with Hamas. Despite being provoked by ongoing attacks from Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have shown restraint and focused on minimizing civilian casualties. Hamas has chosen to invest in building extensive tunnel networks instead of infrastructure for its citizens. Videos have surfaced showing Hamas snipers targeting Palestinian civilians attempting to flee areas under Hamas control. The IDF cares more about Palestinian civilians than Hamas does, as they prioritize minimizing civilian casualties. However, Israel still faces significant challenges in combatting the tunnels and flanking attacks by Hamas.
