I'm sure this is what Israel wants - total disarmament, destruction of fighting and smuggling tunnels, an end of Hamas as a fighting and governing force, and a rebuilt Gaza ruled by Palestinians who recognize Israel's right to exist, with security and policing guaranteed by some other party.
As long as they don't get that, Israel will control the borders, seek out the last of the tunnels, and inflict a lot of misery as they fight an urban counterinsurgency.
It's a different situation from Vietnam or Iraq where the borders are vast and ultimately not controllable. Now that Israel controls the Egypt border, there is no longer a means for substantial quantities of munitions to cross to Hamas' hands.

Yet what most zionists fail to see is that their ethnonationalist ideology is more similar to Nazism than whatever Hamas believes in.
Unfortunately, if Netanyahu drops dead tomorrow night, another zionist lunatic would take up the torch and we would be in the exact same place as we are today. Once this is all over, I hope Israelis can finally see their neighbours as human beings rather than animals that need to be eradicated.
