If you remember those wars and all the ambulances, UN compounds, apartment buildings,etc that were hit you soon realize that Israel's claim of not targetting civilians is one big joke.

If you remember in the last Gaza war, Hamas was using clearly marked ambulances as troop transport, had moved their fighters into the UN compounds and put their rocket launchers in front of civilian hospitals and civilian occupied apartments.
Hamas fighters aren't there to protect civilians, they are not like a standard military who's primary mandate is to protect their citizens.
Their mandate is to antagonize Israel with rocket attacks and then create situations that create as many civilian casualties as possible. Like its been mentioned, Hamas is a death cult, they are a political organization that is not fighting for the benefit of Palestinians, they are not heroic freedom fighters with thoughts of freedom for their own people. They want things to be as bad as possible for Palestinians so they can use it to political ends.
They are a pirate organization run by scumbags.
There is no other way for Israel to deal with the rocket problem. Negotiation doesn't work because cease fire to Hamas means rearm and recruit and get bigger rockets and then start launching again.
so the only way for Israel to go is to try to remove the rocket launches and kill the people responsible for them since they can't negotiate them out of existence.
Even if by some miracle Hamas lost the election and a more beneficial government came into play and peace broke out all over, Iran would continue to arm Hamas who would continue with their activities.
Remember Hamas is so vile that they even went after and tried to wipe out the Fatah party when Abbas threatened to crack down on them for violating cease fires.
