I don't think Palestinians deserved it, if that's what you think I'm saying or think it is acceptable to 'trade' hundreds of Palestinian refugees for a single Hamas commander.
I don't think Hamas confirmation on their military casualties will be very forthcoming or reliable. I do think it says something that they confirmed killed hostages, which likely means an unreported number of Hamas militants also perished. Also Hamas could be lying about the hostages being there at all, to imply that Israel doesn't really care about the hostages (perhaps true).

If you're having a moral quandry over blowing up dozens maybe hundreds of Palestinians in a refugee camp with bombs twice in 2 days under the thin guise of maybe killing a single Hamas commander, which Hamas haven't even confirmed, then yes I think there's some prejudice going on.
Minimising collateral damage and trying to not main civilians is a basic tenant of modern war and the Geneva Convention, so however they want to do it, boots on the ground, negotiation, smoking out the tunnels they seem to know so well, literally any option is better than just exploding the whole area.
At least that's what a military that wasn't in the act of genocide would do. But for Israel removing some more live Palestinians is in their interest.
I don't think you've realised yet that yes Hamas is real and did a terrible thing, but now just as in years gone by Israel is using them as an excuse to kill civilians and as long people blindly believe the terrorist was definitely hiding under that hospital therefore it's justified to bomb it, they'll keep getting away with it.
