I'm struggling to find any other examples of cutting off power, food, medical aid and barely letting any water in, while bombing the living shit of a population that just can't escape. The Gazans have nowhere to go, nowhere is safe, the reports are unanimous. Moving that many under those conditions isn't simply doable, no matter if two days or two weeks.
Military experts say that the bombing isn't really that effective when the Hamas members are hiding in tunnels 20-40m deep unless you use bunker busters which would in return level the place they hit and its surroundings. They'll also tell you that urban fighting in a pile of rubble is much more costly than in an environment where buildings are mostly intact. They went in medieval, in vengeance mode. You have high ranking members of the government and the IDF openly state that they also consider the Gazans responsible for the atrocities on 7/10. They are collectively punishing the population while hitting targets based on intel that could well be obsolete when the strike is carried out. The terrorists aren't going to stay in one place and kindly wait for the F-16s to wipe them out. If not for the US reigning them in, they'd already have launched their ground invasion. Even Biden is astoundingly calling for restraint.
Sure they're killing a Hamas leader and destroying weapons or ammo caches here and there. But "softening" the Hamas defenses is coming at an unacceptable cost for the civilians and the worst thing is, they won't wipe them out. Even with the ground offensive. That ain't happening, unless they literally erase Gaza off the face of the Earth and that also includes its population. The IDF can and will oust them from Gaza as a governing entity, sure, but they won't eradicate them. And with what's happening not only in Gaza, but also in the West Bank right now, they're making sure that they or the next terrorist organization that will their place won't lack of recruits to carry out senseless massacres in the future.
You seem to be thinking or promoting the idea that the IDF are somewhat upholding western standards when it comes to their RoE with the Palestinians. The way they behaved in Gaza and the West Bank not only today but also in the past, and this is supported by countless reports of humanitarian and UN organizations, are enough to tell you that they're not and never have. They're more in line with the Russians'.
There's a reason why associations like "Breaking the Silence" have seen the day.
Israel is massively losing the battle of opinions, at an alarming rate, which is also where the Hamas was waiting for them. Quite incredible when the horrible massacre in Israel only happened two weeks ago.
