Maybe you're right and maybe that's what they want. Embolden the other side so they never have to negotiate peace. A constant state of war will give justification to the extreme right wing in Israel to keep voting for Netanyahu and the like.
I think, however, during times of war, the last thing on your mind is the safety of the side you think is the enemy.
