      Terror: causing fear by using violence that is unlikely to cause harm to the majority of people to achive political change.

      This is literally what Hamas did on the 7th of October. Israel isn’t isn’t aiming at fear, their plan is to kill every Hamas member.

      Do you think terrorist means attacking civilians? Usually terrorism had the purpose of inciting fear on the larger side in an asymmetric conflict. Israel seems to be doing this moreso to get rid of the population, or at least to get at Hamas with absurdly low regard for civilians. Rather than making the population fearful.
