Imagine you're the leader of Israel. October 7 happens. And there's a multiple declarations from hamas, that they will repeat it forever, given a chance.

What do you do?

Maybe consider why the people your country has tortured for 70+ years has a dislike of you. October 7th was not the beginning of history.

It wasn't. But, if you look at it, history is on the side of Israel. I don't recall any terrorist attacks done by Israel, but I do recall at least a dozen done by hamas. Also, there were 0 (zero) jews in Gaza for the last 20 years or so.

In any case, the question wasn't about history. It was about specific situation that requires specific decisions. Yet you deflected the question entirely. While, at the same time, showing lack of historical knowledge. Saddest thing here is that I'm not surprised anymore to get "answers" like these from people like you.

Beat up the hamas, not the civilians. There is no reason for instance to murder civilians at food delivery, UN had been doing it for decades without killing starving civilians every day.

Really? You don't recall any terrorist attacks done by Israel preceding Oct 7th? You're either lying or ignorant.

I'll answer your question though. The answer is to go after Hamas directly rather than carpet bombing the entire Gaza strip. That's not their goal though.
