    First of all, AlJazeera is one of the worst sources, you can list. They usually just share only one side of the story. In addition, they even failed to call Hamas a terrorist organisation, so they are pretty much irrelevant. In the times of war, both sides are trying to share only those pieces of information which suit their goal. So generally try to avoid getting information from one-sided sources such as AlJazeera, IDF, Daily Wire, etc.

    Second of all, all those 4 escalations you stated were started by Hamas. You know, history repeats itself and in this conflict it is especially true. Pretty much all escalations have the same pattern: Palestine (in our case Hamas) (in the past also all Arab countries) attack Israel, Israel usually responds with very disproportionate force and then Palestine cries that Israel is bad to them. Then we have peace for some time and again.

    Let’s now focus onto Gaza: Of course that Israel’s responses badly damage Gaza but at the same time Hamas does not care. Instead of building something for civilians, they just care about underground tunnels and bombs, so they can launch another attack in 2-3 years. Then Israel responds and we have another catastrophe. Hamas has money for building bombs and underground networks but suddenly, when they should use money for something useful, they have no money at all.

    Issues with drinking water and electricity are absolutely logical because Gaza relies on Israel (with which they are in war btw) in terms of these supplies. I think I do not have to explain why this is a terrible idea. For example, instead of building bombs and underground tunnels, Hamas can put money into research, so they can have desalination plants just like Israel has.

    But yes, for civilians who have nothing to do with the leadership of any of the 2 countries, it is terrible there and I truly regret everyone who has to exist there. However, the solution is not as easy because none of the 2 sides will stop bombing each other.
