It says by ihr hanidachas ונתן לך רחמים, Hashem will give you mercy, and the GRA explains that we might get used to cruelty (which here is required), so we get blessed to be merciful. So don’t worry to apply cruelty like your case where necessary. It says ובערת הרע מקרבך, we have a responsibility to eliminate the bad in order others should not learn from it and he should not repeat his bad deeds.
