Israel absolutely have a choice in how they choose to attack Hamas and to what extent they choose to value civilian Palestinian life in the cost/benefits analysis of every single strike.
To pretend otherwise is to absolve Israel of its responsibility as both an occupying power (internationally recognised) and an actor waging warfare in civilian areas. 12,000 bombs in, with almost as many innocent women and children killed, hundreds of thousands displaced, a territory in ruins, it’s absolutely legitimate to ask what military benefit the next 12,000 bombs will have considering that’ll be more bombs than Hamas militants.
