This is what I don't get either. Israel's reaction is 100% predictable. They knew their attack would result in thousands of their own people getting killed. Did they have an objective that they thought would help improve the lives of Palestinians living in Gaza?
If Hamas attacks Israel, Israel's current gov stays in power. If Israel attacks Hamas, Hamas stays in power.
It's in the interest of all in power to keep this going. Peace destroys both their political platforms.
