    How does it serve Israel for Hamas to exist if it wants to eliminate them?

      It wants to eliminate Palestinians, not Hamas. Hamas is the villain they use to justify their genocide.

        A WW1 era military could level the Gaza Strip with WW1 era munitions. Arguing that Israel, with a fully modern military and munitions system, is trying to genocide Gazans but just can’t for some reason is arguing that Israel’s military is the most incompetent military to ever have existed.

          The reason they can’t just level Gaza is that when the dust clears they need to be seen as the good guys. Think for just one second, even if it hurts.

            After an event, proportionally the size of 44 9/11s I think they could get away with anything really.
