Your questions are rather easy to answer. The munitions Israel use for tunnels are designed to explode up to 30m underground which is the average depth of the tunnels.

The issue of hostages is secondary, HAMAS killed 1000 Israelis and other people from around the world- qn unprecedented move so it will get an unprecedented response.

Israel left Gaza in 2005, Israel has zero interest in the land of Gaza, and the city state was completely free of Israel's influence. Then in 2007 HAMAS took over and launched 10000 rockets at Israel which is when the blockade started. Gaza is a prison of HAMAS making.

Gazans are raised on textbooks that to run over or stab a Jew(note: not an israeli) is the most noble of things and the HAMAS charter says they will kill all the Jews and wipe out Israel. Bombing them or not bombing them won't change the level of hate.

Yes the world sees what Israel does, the world also sees what happens in Syria, Yemen, Sudan and Artsakh and the world does nothing. The world seems really to care about the lives of Palestinains. Again, yes you witnessed a genocide of over 1000 people with babies heads chopped off, people burned alive and executed at point blank range. Yet you write this article about Gaza. Jews understand their lives are worth less than other people's, and since no one else is going to do anything, they have to do it themselves.

Gaza city, the Northern part of the Gazan strip has close to 500km of tunnels, a whole city under the city. In order to combat that, Israel has to destroy surface targets first, then drop ordnance on known tunnels and finally send in ground teams. It will mean many Israeli soldiers will die but the genocide against Israelis this time can't have the standard response.

The Gazans aren't being asked to leave the Gaza strip, just the.northernmost part. As for what happens after? Who knows? Grozny was rebuilt after Ruddians completely destroyed it, Dresden is still on the map even Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The fact you are saying this is your first genocide you are witnessing speaks volumes about you and your bias. Just a few weeks ago, the Armenians of Artsakh who lived there for 2400 years were 100% ethnically cleansed after being staved for 9 months. The devastation in places like Mariupol Ukraine is considerably bigger than Gaza. Syria and Yemen have had 500,000 people killed and Sudan 1.5 million and these things are still ongoing.

I am not endorsing or cheering on Israel's response but, as a Jew who has a lot of friends there, I understand what HAMAS did this time reminds them all of the Holocaust and there is a demand to.mame sure it never happens again. A lot more will die on both sides before this is over.
