“This is a struggle between the children of light and the children of darkness, between humanity and the law of the jungle.“

They spent a year bombing an inhabited city into rubble, killing tens of thousands of civilians. Whatever definition of "policy" you're using here isn't particularly useful I don't think.
They have been ethnically cleansed and told to move to "safe zones", then the IDF terrorists bombed the "safe zones". Rinse and repeat for over a year.
If some really weak person kept trying to kill you by punching you in the face would you hold your own punch back to only hurt them the same amount or would you absolutely deck them?
The IDF and Likud does not have a policy of attacking civilians to achieve political or war goals.
They likely have some deranged and radicalized commanders who do this anyway, but it's not the organizational policy.
