My difficulty with your question is nobody wants innocent civilians to die. But when something as horrible as what Hamas did happens, and when Hamas then hides in schools and hospitals, if Israel does nothing, it'll happen again and again. So you have target and fight the swine and the collateral damage becomes, regrettably, unavoidable.
So, what would be "proportionate response" to what Hamas did?

What would be a proportionate response would be tracking down the orchestrators and bring the to justice or if not possible then dispatch them in a measured way to minimise collateral damage. I'd be surprised if they didn't know where the people responsible were - after all it's the excuse they use time after time form destroying every building for 100's of metres in every direction.
Have they not realised all this carpet bombing does is make your enemy younger? How many children are now going to grow up full of hatred? Hatred not based on what they're told but based on what they've experienced. Look at Iran, they've managed to replace the old regime with a new younger version.
This will never end until one side decides to do things differently. Sticking my tongue in boiling water over and over expecting not to get burned is stupid, but both sides in the middle east seem happy to keep trying
