If Israel is really serious about eliminating Hamas rather than killing all Palestinians, it should attack the Hamas tunnels under Gaza. This is clearly much more dangerous for Israeli troops than bombing from above, but the US went into spider holes and tunnels in Vietnam and fought close-quarters, urban warfare in Iraq. It found Saddam Hussein in a spider hole. This is dangerous, but it attacks enemy fighters rather than random civilians. Another approach would be to fill the tunnels with concrete, which would be less risky for the troops and force Hamas into the open. Israel is so technically sophisticated that it should be able to identify tunnels by some kind of remote sensing, perhaps using seismic sensors. Israel’s decision to attack from the air on make random assaults on civilian neighborhoods shows deep disregard for human life, particularly because it results in killing many innocent children.
