Israel announced right at the start that its target is to eliminate Hamas and PIJ.

Since there are:

  1. About 30,000-40,000 Hamas members in the Al-Qassam Brigades and
  2. About 6,000 members in the PIJ and
  3. Assuming 1 civilian casualty per 3 combative casualties

Then unless something substantial changes, the death toll is expected to rise to around 50k-60k . This is really just the beginning.
