Israel has dropped over 10,000 tons of bombs on the Gaza Strip over the last ten days. At a certain point the difference between conventional bombing and nuclear use becomes academic.

Was Hamas using all these buildings for cover, or is this just meant to be retaliatory?

Yes .they were using it and they also have tunnels underneath those buildings..
This is also what it means to use human shields during wars.I have also seen clips of Palestinians sending their children,I mean kids into confrontation with armed Israeli's soldiers,hoping that they will be killed so that they hold Israel responsible.This made me wonder the kind of parenting they give their children.
The leadership of Hamas and their children are not based in Gaza,yet they ask Palestinians to remain in Gaza,this is the height of hypocrisy,yet they say israel is their problem.
Your leaders failed to feed you,clothe you and give you electricity yet they go about blaming Israeli's who value their citizens and will never place their citizens in harm's way..
Supporting Hamas is a display of plain stupidity and an inability to think.

In Ukraine, Washington underestimated Russian resolve and military power.

Washington should not repeat this mistake by underestimating the potential for a regional Muslim alliance that could threaten Israel’s existence.

The possibility that Israel could end up like Ukraine should not be discounted.

Stop propaganda, who counted the misiles Israel fired at Hamas and how many did Hamas fire at srael?

we keep hearing of arab countries resolve, send them this if they really ready to fight

Exactly

Hamas allies needs powerful misiles and bombs to target israeli soldiers barracking in residential areas with commanders hiding in more upmarket areas. That way killing civilians is ok by western standards
