With or without bombs and trauma the next sinwar is already born.
Its their indoctrination.
But I believe that if they wont accept defeat it will be a never ending cycle.
Surrender and release the hostages
Look, don't get me wrong, I'm trying to figure out a way to justify what Israel is doing. I've asked you several times now - what is the plan? Let's say they release the hostages, what then? You have 5-10 years of peace and have to "cut the grass" again?
It seems to me, based on your replies, Israel is cosplaying Second Boer War from a hundred years ago stage by stage. People are unable to leave (they were born there, where should they go? who would accept them?), people are held in open air camps as a punishment for actions of "the others" and there seems to be no end to this in any reasonable future. If you remember Second Boer war - the British were unable to defeat the Boers, so the implemented scorched earth tactic, burning and destroying everything they captured. Eventually they took all women, children and those unwilling to fight as hostages in an open air concentration camps. Hundreds of thousands were interned in these camps. There was no food, diseases ran rampant, people died in tens of thousands from starvation, typhoid, malaria and what else, while British tried to force the guerilla fighting men to come out of the hiding and stop terrorizing their forces.

The Boers pledged to fight until the bitter end and rejected the demand for compromise made by the "Hands-uppers". Their reasons included hatred of the British, loyalty to their dead comrades, solidarity with fellow commandos, an intense desire for independence, religious arguments, and fear of captivity or punishment. On the other hand, their women and children were dying nearly every day in prison camps and independence seemed more and more impossible
The British ultimately won the Second Boer War, but at what cost?
