I'm starting to get convinced the stated objective isn't the objective IDF is really after.

They say the objective is to destroy Hamas and save the hostages.

I think the actual objective is to murder as many palestinians as possible. At the very least that is the actual objective of some IDF soldiers. They've said as much publicly.

Whether or not that's the actual objective intentionally or unintentionally is just arguing semantics at this point.
