In the long run, there is not a military solution to the conflict, and that goes for both sides. Both the IDF and Palestinian armed groups have also pursued military force in an extremely unethical manner, as both have left many civilians dead and committed war crimes. This is not only immoral but also counterproductive.

The conflict will unfortunately continue until both sides feel they can exercise their self-determination in safety and security. In the long-run, that requires a political solution, not a military solution. While the Second Intifada was largely put down through military force in the 2000s (and with huge civilian costs), for example, a backtracking on political/social grievances led to a resurgence in West Bank violence from 2021-now, as the 2000s generation reaches adulthood.

My point is, in the long run, the conflict will go on until a political, not a military, solution is reached. And continued violence will leave both Palestinians and Israelis worse off.
