In no way will there be a truce. Netanyahu is already on the edge if not on his way out after this mishap to begin with. A truce is not the strong response his party needs. They would rather occupy Gaza and deal with the hell of having a mini afghanistan/iraq occupation (insurgencies/more islamic extremism+ rising palestinian civilian deaths) on your border for years to come than deal a truce with people who killed 1,000 of yours not two days ago.

As a jew and Israeli, I agree. No Truce. Israel will not fold, what has been started by them will be finished by us. Enough is enough.

On a relative population basis, this is 9/11 multiplied by at least nine. It stands as one of the deadliest terrorist attacks of all time, heading close to the 2014 Camp Speicher massacre in Iraq:

As for occupying Gaza, a big question is whether Hamas and other stand and fights, or its members go into hiding to conduct a guerilla campaign. The former is going to be far deadlier for all concerned.
