The reason that Israel is refusing to treat this war as a war is that the West is pressuring them so much to treat this terrorist population as terrorists.
It is past time to level Gaza and restart it. Of course, there is not a country in the world that will accept the Gazan population. They are the outcasts of the world. I pity them for their condition, but can think of no way to fix it in this lifetime.

Israeli troops comb slowly through northern Gaza: destroy tunnels, weapons caches, and booby-trapped houses, engage small numbers of militants in fights. Israeli government refuses to recognize facts of international law. Once a significant proportion of local population reneged on truce, war resumes, and the entire population becomes an acceptable collateral damage. Where guerrillas operate without uniforms, any suspiciously-looking civilians become legitimate targets, and their blood is on the guerrillas-turned-terrorists.
