Israel can't do a scorched Earth policy because they'd be international pariahs losing all support including the US. They'd also be jeopardizing their now normalized relations with neighbors like Egypt and Jordan and other Arab countries like UAE, Bahrain, etc. They would also face heavy sanctions.
To even bring up nukes is irrelevant because Gaza is way too close to risk any sort of nuclear fallout.
And I didn't claim the civilian to militant death ratio is hundreds to one. I said IDF soldiers are given the latitude to do a hundreds to one ratio in a single stack. I linked an interview with an investigative journalist in my original post.
I agree with the first two points. In the third point you claimed that the IDF has the latitude to kill hundreds of civilians for every militant but the death toll is not hundreds to one. So the IDF is showing restraint by not killing many civilians? I don't understand the argument here.
