Militarily (I'm a layman), if there are hundreds of miles of tunnels under Gaza within which Hamas operates, Israel has to destroy said tunnels. Bunker-busting bombs of whatever kind are required to do that job.
'Proportionality' becomes a convenient concept on which to take sides. In which regard, jfman has profoundly disappointed me.

Interesting, indeed. It shows a pragmatism on Israel's part that has been rewarded with the 7-Oct barbarism conducted by Hamas.

Pretty sure "weaken a moderate political party which has renounced violence and supports a peaceful two-state solution by strengthening a terrorist group whose stated aim is to wipe you out" isn’t really "pragmatic", and was never going to end well…
