Israel will never completely destroy Hamas, inside or outside Gaza. Just as the west never fully defeated IS.
Also if there is no clear concept/plan for the next phase in Gaza, for the palestinian people, after Hamas has been weakened, Israel is doomed for tactical victories and a strategic defeat in the coming months.
My guess is some Israeli generals try explain that to their government but they simply won't listen.

Relevance Score: A Landmark-Like Heuristic for Planning
Landmarks are facts or actions that appear in all valid solutions of a planning problem. They have been used successfully to calculate heuristics that guide the search for a plan. We investigate an extension to this concept by defining a novel "relevance score" that helps identify facts or actions that appear in most but not all plans to achieve any given goal. We describe an approach to compute this relevance score and use it as a heuristic in the search for a plan. We experimentally compare t…

Introducing Delays in Multi-Agent Path Finding
We consider a Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) setting where agents have been assigned a plan, but during its execution some agents are delayed. Instead of replanning from scratch when such a delay occurs, we propose delay introduction, whereby we delay some additional agents so that the remainder of the plan can be executed safely. We show that finding the minimum number of additional delays is APX-Hard, i.e., it is NP-Hard to find a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation for some $\varepsilon>0$. How…
