100 years ago this is pretty much what would happen. Failure to surrender would have resulted total annihilation of Gaza, displacing the population and annexing the territory. No longer acceptable by modern standards of warfare. Palestinian terror groups exist because of this loophole. The responsible thing would have been to stop fighting long ago for the safety of the Palestinian people, it would have been the responsible thing to do but Hamas can keep fighting for the sole purpose of creating Palestinian suffering to be milked for propaganda. Neither the Israeli government or the people want Gaza and military defeat of the terror groups just isn’t possible by modern standards. Disengagement is the only option.
