However, the Taliban still exists.

But they were banished to the wilderness for 20 years. If Israel could accomplish something similar in Gaza, that would be a meaningful accomplishment for them - even if it weren't permanent.

Even then, it's important to remember that the Taliban did not pose nearly the ongoing and constant threat to U.S. interests that Hamas does to Israelis. There's a higher cost to inaction for the Israelis than the U.S. faced in 2001. A Hamas that commits these kinds of atrocities successfully - without a meaningful reprisal or consequence - becomes far, far more deadly to Israel.
