You would expect Israel to grow tolerant and accept the fact that it's southern cities would constantly be barraged by rockets (with a poor hit ratio) as a constant reality, until Hamas is appeased somehow, but only until Hamas decides it wants to do it again.
Would you seriously agree to the same if it was your neighborhood "lightly" and "ineffectively" bombarded?
The level of damage in Gaza since the ground incursion has everything to do with the fact that the IDF decided this time to do everything possible to minimize their casualties and keep general support high, which has meant using immense firepower in densely built areas, which of course leads to massive damage.
I have several videos form inside Gaza filmed by Israeli journalists embedded to the IDF forces, which show the amount of booby traps they have to face. It's a bit of a nuisance to post them here though, since they use proprietary microsoft streaming technology.
Hamas tried to trick the soldiers, by sending a suicide bomber to knock on the door of an IDF occupied house, asking for help. Luckily his behaviour was suspicious enough and the soldiers opened fire. How do you expect IDF soldiers not to treat every Palestinian civilian with suspicion following such incidents?
