I don’t see how it is any different when they practically do the same thing to the corpses of male soldiers in any other conflict.

Damn, Gaza territory doubled in size! There are decades where weeks happen, and weeks where decades happen. The Levant - the strip of land along the Mediterranean running from northern Egypt to southern Turkey - is a unique geography with many high density urban centers and mountains settled since 10000 BC.
This combination of urban settlement and mountainous terrain connected on the back side by sea makes defense easy and offense difficult, historically overcome mostly by 1. far superior numbers from the great Middle Eastern empires and more recently, 2. PGMs and air power. It seems that Palestinians have learned very quickly from the Ukraine conflict, and see that while Ukrainian tactics are marginally competitive in the steppe, they're even more potent in the mountainous urban jungle of the Levant.

They found the culprit!

The only positive development from this escalation is that Saudi-Israel US led pact suffered a huge setback. Such a pact would have been a win for US influence in middle east. China can capitalize.
Multiple Large Explosions heard in Southern Tel Aviv.
That just goes to show that the Chinese PLA (People’s Liberation Army) is a terrorist army like the Palestinian PLA (Palestine Liberation Army).
Sir will there be repeat of 1970 oil crisis? I can see it, with Russia reducing oil production and a perfect excuse for the Gulf State to do the same. The weaponization of oil may force Israel and the Collective West to seek a compromise to stop the fighting.
