Israel has been successful because they use Prussian "limited war" methods. Abandoning this strategy would be disastrous for them.

A war with Iran is not, as Gantz and Deri point out, particularly helpful in the fight against Hamas. Quite the opposite. By opening multiple theaters, Israel would inadvertently benefit and support Hamas’s original designs for disrupting the regional balance and bringing chaos and disorder to the Middle East. As the weaker side, drawing either nonstate or state actors into the conflict constitutes Hamas’s only chance to militarily pressure Israel to halt, even if only temporarily, its operations in Gaza, including its threatened Rafah offensive. Forced to deal with other more dangerous threats, the Israel Defense Forces would have no choice but to respond to them and, in doing so, would sacrifice achieving their political and military objectives in Gaza.
Israel’s restraint toward Iran is by no means an aberration because its leaders have historically behaved very much like traditional Clausewitzians. Some of the top scholars who have written about Clausewitz and about other topics in the field of military theory, like Azar Gat and the late Jehuda Wallach, have taught at Israel’s leading universities. But education aside, Israel’s geopolitical situation—it is a relatively small country in a tough neighborhood—has led its political and military leadership to ponder hard ways to maximize their advantages and apply military power deliberately. These are all conditions that fit with Clausewitz’s analysis of the use of military power for political aims.

It's a good thing nobody killed this terrorist:

It certainly looks like the world is eventually getting its international act together on Israel’s attrocious behaviour.
When even Israeli human rights groups are calling it a genocide, even trump admits kids are starving… you know the noose is slowly pulling tight around Netenyahoos fascist government of spineless, racist hate merchants.
Now, obviously I but speculate on this matter, what did the EU get for this US trade deal?
An American noose, perhaps?

- surrender, put their hands up,
- put down their weapons,
- release their hostages,
- apologise and say sorry,
- and if they have a conscience, make amends to the surviving family members of the Jews they raped and murdered.
In this case these Hamas fools doing the opposite.

Israeli rights groups accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza
Two leading Israeli rights organisations have said Israel's conduct in the war in Gaza constitutes genocide against the Palestinian population.
B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel released separate reports on Monday based on studies of the past 21 months of conflict.
The organisations, which have been active in Israel for decades, said in a joint statement that "in these dark times it is especially important to call things by their name", while "calling on this crime to stop immediately".

Looks like Israelis themselves turning up the cork-screws.
@Rajk999 saidit's not a war, it's a genocide. it's a one sided slaughter done by an evil, fascist regime which will go down in history as will the garbage people that support it. Hamas hasn't come close to the number of murders Israel has comitted, both direct like for example shooting children in the head with sniper rifles or indirect like starving the people of Gaza, also a war crime. Or shooting said starving people while waiting in line. Or shooting journalists, also a war crime. Air workers. Bombing hospitals.

@Zahlanzi saidOne sided war... There is such a thing you damN fool. Gazans and Hamas are stupid people, just like your type. They raped, and murdered a superior force and ran back into their slum to celebrate... So STFU... you disgusting moron.

Is Hamas still fighting?
Yes?
Then let the damn war continue until Hamas is finished and hostages released.
Hamas and Gazans dont care about their own children.
Why the hell should anyone else?
