destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities; and returning the hostages home
And these are Netanyahu’s current goals:
Seizing the Rafah Crossing is a very significant step towards destroying the remaining military capabilities of Hamas, including the elimination of the four terrorist battalions in Rafah, and an important step to damage the governmental capabilities of Hamas
You mean his goals keep changing? Hmm… seems like a constantly changing military objective would allow you to kill an unlimited number of children justifiably based on your reasoning.

and an important step to damage the governmental capabilities of Hamas
The first two goals look unchanged.
There is no mention of hostages in my quote. Maybe he isn’t interested in that any more, but it’s entirely possible he mentioned it elsewhere and I didn’t see it.
No, Hamas forces are steadily getting smaller. If there are new recruits, they are not enough to make up for the losses.

You either did not read the whole article or are dishonestly taking that line out of context.
