These are expensive weapons and supported my somewhat modern military technology backbones. Have a look at Hamas' drone fleet, these aren't converted RC planes with C4 stuck to the underbelly.
You act like neither side can do anything to change things. The one thing that can be done is limiting support for Hamas through its funding. They indoctrinate the youth, make celebrity of martyrs, and pay handsomely for successful attacks on Israel. The culture there is to hate and destroy Israel. Until that changes and Hamas is seen for the destructive cultural force it is, Gazans will suffer by buying into the rage.
Things are so much better in the West Bank over Gaza for a litany of reasons, but a big piece is that they have weened themselves off of the Hamas kool-aide a lot more than Gaza.

I mean things are better in the West Bank on the surface, but the lack of Hamas there means that there are now 500,000 illegal settlers living there.
It seems as though Israel only responds positively to violence. Lay down your arms and they'll quickly take your land.
Not supporting Hamas here, but there's a reason why groups like them find support amongst the Palestinian people.
