Obviously, it can't be to just kill enough of them that they finally give up. That will never happen, it will just make them want to kill more Israelis. So I don't see what the point is, unless they intend to create more buffer zone and start bringing out the bulldozers, or is it just a body count game?
Any ideas what they plan to solve with this current flare up, other than to create more people whom want to shoot rockets at them?

Israel is a split country.
The religious right is in charge now and when they are they go for blood. They want to occupy all the territories and kick the shit out of the Palestinians and Hamas and don't see any difference between them. Heck if there were Asians in Gaza they'd kick the shit out of them too.
The moderates who pay all the taxes and become soldiers want a peaceful solution and do see that Hamas is a problem but also that the Palestinian people are human beings who are caught in the middle.
There is no end game. Just a bunch of internal and external struggles.
