This is a major escalation that could greatly expand the war and drag hezbollah deeper into the war, which was already involved in skirmishes with Israel in Lebanese regions that Israel occupies.

Note: the verbiage of the article is minimizing the focus on Israel, and they spend half the article justifying the attack as "not an attack on Israel" an effort to minimize how much of an escalation this is.

Does Israel have a long term strategy other than "kill them all"? Is there any point where they want to coexist with us?

No need to answer. Studying the history of colonialism and ethnic cleansing in North America and Australia provides us with a clue to what they would do if they could.

I think Israel lives on its people considering Arabs their enemy. It makes them tolerate a lot more from their government that they otherwise wouldn't.

I think they rather suffocate Palestinians slowly rather than end them all at once.
