I think the answer is, they don't care. I believe they are trying to teach the Palestinian population in Gaza a lesson through terror and fear, and that inlcudes Hamas, and regular citizens. Its intimidation tactics. Like the thread title suggests, Israel wants to show everyone it doesn't screw around. This is their territory and the Palestinians better keep in line or pay the consequences.

Like I said in an earlier post, this is so far beyond "self defence" its ridiculous.
