That is because they are not globe-trotting assassins. Event take events from June of '08, ceasefire agreements in place, there is a marked difference in rockets coming out of Gaza yet Israel lived up to nothing it agreed to do. Then it blamed operation cast lead on incidents that happened after they made a night raid into Gaza that resulted in 5 deaths. A tunnel needs a place to come up , they could have destroyed it from that end (Israeli territory, if there even was one). No deaths to either side and very few rockets (same as unruly Israeli settlers) in Nov and Dec would have made that long planned operation a no-go.
The Hamas that opened fire on the Israeli troops that night in Nov 08 were not doing anything 'wrong' Israel was in the wrong spot. Agree to that and I might hold out hope for you being 'impartial'.

Couple of questions
Israeli Military note Hamas setting up a mortar/rocket position - What should the Isreali Militray response be - consider that this position in not near any civilians or critical infrastructure
Hamas kidnaps 2 or 3 or more Israeli Soldiers - What would the reaction be within Israel public & govt- Please include those Israeli's that believe in a 2 state solution.
What action would be taken by the Israeli Military?
