It's worth doing for Israel for obvious reasons given they're constantly under attack from Hamas and other groups. Cutting the region off from water and food and taking over homes in the West Bank, not to mention carpet bombing whatever in that region shrugging off innocent deaths as being the cost of war is only creating more joiners to Hamas and others.

It is perfectly possible to subdue terrorist groups or even peoples for that matter. Chechnya is a good example of that. It was carpet bombed into surrender and has been perfectly loyal ever since. ISIS was subdued. Massive war against ISIS did NOT create thousands of new terrorists. Nuking Japan did not create generations of Japanese looking for revenge on USA. Contrary, it created generations of peaceful, harmless Japanese. Carpet bombing Germany did not create generations of Germans wanting to join Nazi. Contrary, it created generations of Germans who hate Nazis and don't want to repeat their mistakes again. As history shows us on those examples, destroying Hamas will create generations of Palestinians who are looking to live on peace. That's human nature. When people are well beaten, they give up.
