1. Israel has never tried anything like this. In the past, it's always been Israel taking out a few rocket sites and then being pulled back by international pressure. Similarly an attack on Israel, by Hamas, like this has never happened before. This is new territory.
2. Secondly, the nature of the attack and the fact it was caused by Israel loosening the blockade, to allow far more Gazan workers into Israel, signals that the current status quo cannot continue. Hamas will never allow a peace agreement. What point is there continuing with Hamas in power. The two options are take out Hamas or continue with even greater restrictions to land Hamas controls.
