I think you are confused about the definition of genocide.
It doesn't mean to exterminate all people in an area.
It means to kill large numbers of people based on their ethnicity or nationality, which Israel is doing. They not targeting Hamas, they're targeting Palestinians, and they're doing it in such a way to make Gaza uninhabitable. All the infra is being targeted. All the hospitals are being targeted. Over 40% of the housing units are destroyed already. It's a genocide.
Still a piss poor attempt.
