The number one priority is not to rescue the hostages, it is to eliminate Hamas. If the hostages are saved at the expense of that goal, then in the long run many more lives will be lost. This is the first lesson to be learnt. In the last 18 years Israel didn’t do what needed to be done to wipe out Hamas because they were afraid of losing too many lives in the process. Well, now we lost the lives anyhow, and that’s before we even got started.
