Israel's policy of expanding settlements in West Bank and elsewhere was the primary cause of this.
By making peaceful solutions impossible- by denying the Palestinians any space for life- Israel has left only terrorism and desperation
Hamas and the Israeli right share responsibility for every death.
Fascinating how you're claiming Israel has made it impossible when Hamas is the one who not only refuses to negotiate, but openly calls for the murder of an entire group of people.
The specific reason is because successive right-wing Israeli governments have empowered Hamas, while expanding settlements in the West Bank.
By those policies, Israel has accomplished two things. A) increasing radicalization, and B), dis-empowering non militant. It's not as if a rival group to Hamas even could operate in Gaza, and Israel has allowed that situation to come about through its material policies.
It's "fascinating" to you because you clearly don't understand that context. Which is, I'll note, broadly acknowledged by Israeli sources including a former PM (Ehud)
