The Taliban and the U.S. actually cut a deal so they wouldn't target U.S. troops during the drawdown and exit. Hamas isn't like that. They're very obsessed with international media and are more eschatological and dramaturgical, and they want to destroy Israel and don't care if Gaza burns as long as Israel bleeds. Force a war and take hostages and treat them like trophies, refuse to give all them up, and then hide in tunnels as Israel destroys the place to create images.
