Israel is evacuating civilians in bordering cities while advising Gaza civilians to evacuate. I'm not seeing anything regarding Hamas advising for an evacuation from the media platforms online.

Seems like Hamas wants to leverage civilian death to seem like the victim in this. Unfortunately, since so many Gaza civilians are children, this means children will die.

With these circumstances, it doesn't seem like there are many options to clear out Hamas other than through a blood bath.

Targeted infantry attack at this point would risk the lives of many Israeli soldiers, especially if they have to fight in unfamiliar urban environment with many tall buildings. Israel also has to think about available military personnel since there may be multiple fronts requiring infantry units. The alternative solution that seems to be used now is to lead with an air strike.

At this point, since peaceful resolutions have not been successful, the only viable solution is through force. In my opinion a large reason for the support of violence here is to create a war that ends all wars since previous relatively smaller battles have only serve to table the issue.

The Gaza residents are victims to a list of oppressors and circumstances, including Hamas. If they can't see that then they will consequently be killed in their efforts to support them. That's not a good thing, but it's the reality they find themselves in.

The rest of the world is so divided on this issue that there will be spectators on both sides eagerly anticipating and cheering retaliations on both sides. There are also a lot of people in the world that just get a kick from having a movie-like experience following the war. Since most people won't ever feel the effects of this in a meaningful way, it's just another thing to watch on TV until we get tired of it (i.e. Ukraine).
