If Israel wanted to genocide the Palestinians then it would have been a smoking pit with nearly 100% of the citizens killed inside of a month. They are conducting a military operation against a state terrorist actor where said government hides amongst innocents and uses them for shields. So Israel has one of two choices, do what they’re currently doing or throw up their hands and let Hamas continue to cross the border and murder citizens at their leisure.

However it doesn't actually have the munitions stock to do that, and plus, it would be bad PR and make the area more costly to re-develop as a prime real estate attraction. So instead it has opted the more "pragmatic" option of removing the indigenous inhabitants. Which is another form of genocide, just a softer, more palatable one.
