Israel has been attacking Gaza for a very long time. Hamas fought back. Now Israel has gone mask of and is committing genocide.
What was their targets? Was it effective? Weren't they interested in prolonging a slaughter of palestinians?
The goal was to demonstrate that Israel's government can not keep its people safe and to then use the hostages to further negotiations.
... their assumption that Israel would give a shit about hostages was clearly false, though.
