The extent of the rubble reflects the embeddedness of Hamas. The bombings are anything but indiscriminate.
Of course, the media, along with the Biden administration, is already spinning the myth of the “good” Gazan. According to this narrative, Gazans are actually opposed to Hamas but are afraid or can’t show their true feelings. When the Palestinians put forward an Adenauer or a de Gaulle as their leader, prepared to accept “two states for two peoples”, perhaps this myth will be accepted.
As an aside, your use of the word Einzatz to describe the IDF is beyond reprehensible with its implicit and insidious comparison to the Nazis. I suggest you edit your piece accordingly.
What about the demographics of the Gazans? Ages and sex ratio at each age? Also, I've heard that the Gazans are very secular, as Muslims go. Is that correct? I use the term Gazan rather than Palestinian, because I don't get the impression that the inhabitants have a common culture.

EDIT-UPDATE: Chinese Defense Ministry Confirms Six Warships in Middle East - a guided-missile destroyer, a frigate, and an integrated supply ship
What worries me is - what if this is the tar-baby? Remember the tale of B'rer Rabbit and the tar-baby?
What if it's not a critical vulnerability - what if the willingness to paint the entire region in blood and radiation *is* the goal and the IDF and allied forces are the means?
I see we're sending 26th MEU who are en route. We don't send them places to hand out ice cream and lullabies.
Also - someone keeps launching suicide drone and rocket attacks on Ain al-Assad air base in Iraq. 3 hours ago there was another one - something like the 4th or 5th inside of 48 hours. There's no way for anything in that region to be fungible from any other thing.
