I am all for more direct action raids like the one that rescued the hostages, but according to the Gaza Ministry of Health (I mean Minister of Bull####), over 200 people were killed, which is likely going to be the result of any direct action raid because when you literally have civilians holding hostages, what do you think will happen?
End of the day funding and support has to be cut off from Hamas. Their tunnel network has to be cut off. Egypt's playing two sides by building a big border wall and allowing Hamas to build tunnels underneath needs to be cut off. Qatar needs to stop supporting Hamas. Etc, etc, etc. All these things can be done without actually needing to bomb Gaza, and it is the leverage the US, Jordan and others have over Israel. Unfortunately it is quite obvious that most countries in that area don't really care of Gaza is bombed to the stone age, as it plays into their hands.
