Without putting any Palestinians in danger

How is Israel suppose to deal with Hamas after this horrendous attack?
I understand the deep concern I see here for the population of Gaza. I don't know if anybody wants to see civilian casualties.
I don't think Israel should go in and level Gaza. But for those who think Israel should not bomb or have troops go into Gaza to end Hamas' rule their. What should they do?

Game. Hamas did what they did looking for a certain response. And currently, they are getting that response.

Evidently Israel is just supposed to do nothing as the rocket attacks continue.

bombed Afghanistan, and employed troops, because they were sheltering bin Laden, and those responsible for the attack.

A false narrative was introduced by the bush administration that Iraq was ready to employ WMDs as an excuse to implement the PNAC and bush policy of "nation building". One of the biggest foreign policy blunders that the U.S. made in recent times because it destabilized the entire area.

When President Obama came into office he worked to undo the damage that the bush administration had done in the middle east, but the election of trump in 2016, not only undid all those positive actions in the middle east, but the entire world.

We are still paying the price for trump's reckless behavior, and unfortunately I think we will be paying that price for sometime to come.

What would any country do if it was attacked?

Go after the attackers, and that will mean the deaths of a lot of civilians, who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Bush, Cheney, and the rest should have been put on trial at The Hague for War Crimes.

As soon as they fight back, sympathy for their them disappears.

People are saying it's a war crime for them to stop giving supplies to their enemy.

Israel will "end Hamas", that's your first mistake. If they killed every single member of Hamas today, there will be 1000 more lined up to take their place tomorrow. THAT is the error in the "Wipe out Hamas" fairy tale. I would think after 20 years or war waged on multiple fronts, trillions of dollars spent, hundreds of thousands of dead civilians and thousands of dead soldiers people would realize sending tanks and bombs only CREATES more terrorists. With ALL that, tell me, did the US "wipe out" terrorists with the great war on terrorism?

Palestinians have been attacking Israel since it was founded but I guess they should just let themselves be wiped out as the Palestinians and Arabs have tried 5 times.
