The document contains 6 pages of this stuff, I suggest you have a look through it.

Those are all post-Oct 7th comments. Before the war Israel didn't have a goal of destroying Gaza in any means.
Hamas actually does have a stated goal of destroying Israel as a state. They call it "Zionist project" and call it "illegal". Also they, being government of Gaza, refused to recognize Israel. They mention 1967 borders without saying that it is Israel, rather than some other Muslim state, should be across that border. They state a goal of a complete liberation of WHOLE Palestine from " the occupation by Zionist project".
