I don’t know what you expect Israel to do when they are continually being attacked by Hamas, who hide out amongst the civilian population. One thing is for sure, if it was Britain being attacked in this way, we wouldn’t stand for it either.
You and I would be rightly criticising our government in that situation if they just pussy-footed around in a situation like this.
The Israelies have advised civilians to move to the border area in the south to avoid the retaliation - what else can they be expected to do?

No, they didn’t…
The last elections that were held in the Palestinian Territories (which includes the Gaza Strip and the West Bank) in 2006, and Hamas won a majority (44%) of the vote, and then a Fatah-Hamas Coalition Government was formed. The following year, Hamas seized power in the Gaza Strip, and there have been no elections there since.
