There is no reason for Israel is not use the maximum available force at their disposal. The strength of Israel's military is no secret. Hamas is the aggressor, and launched rocket attacks against Israel unprovoked.
So in your opinion, it's all not without unprovoked?

Activist: Netanyahu is calling the right wing to use their power
Responding to critique from Israelis that Hamas went too far and Israel had to respond, Issa Amro, a Palestinian activist based in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank told Al Jazeera that it wasn’t Hamas who planned to displace families from Sheikh Jarrah.
“Hamas didn’t attack Al Aqsa Mosque. They didn’t attack the worshippers. Thousands were injured inside the mosque,” Amro said.
“Israeli police use the massive, violent power against the Palestinian worshippers who were worshipping inside the walls.
“Netanyahu himself is really calling the right wing … the extremist elements … and he’s saying that they should use power against the Palestinians and telling the police do whatever you want,” Amro said.
Hamas didn’t start the bouts of violence that led to this week’s fighting: the Palestinian protests against the Sheikh Jarrah evictions and against police restrictions at Jerusalem’s Damascus Gate, or the attacks on Jews in Jerusalem throughout Ramadan dubbed by Israelis the “TikTok intifada.”
But it has egged on the chaos at every turn, issuing pronouncements in support of more clashes and sending organizers to inflame the protests into violent confrontations.
