00:00For 5 months now, our screens have been bombarded by images depicting Israel's air and ground

00:13assault on Gaza.

00:15This extraordinary footage shows just how widespread the destruction has been.

00:23Israel is still denying foreign journalists independent access to Gaza.

00:29We're in Israel, about a kilometre from the border.

00:35Generations of historians will study this Gaza war, the violence of Hamas's October

00:407 attack, and the unparalleled ferocity of Israel's retaliation, which left tens of thousands

00:47of Palestinians dead and vast sections of Gaza reduced to rubble.

00:52One thing they'll focus on will be Israel's response.

00:56Was it proportionate, or was it driven by rage, humiliation and revenge?

01:04Was it legitimate self-defence, or did it involve the commission of war crimes, as Israel's

01:09detractors around the world have alleged?

01:13And would the war jolt the international community into pushing for something that Israel's leadership

01:18had for so long resisted, a Palestinian state?

01:25In this Four Corners, we go head-to-head with insiders at the centre of Israel's defence

01:30and intelligence establishment, a former prime minister, two ex-intelligence chiefs, a current

01:38cabinet minister and a one-time Israeli army commander.

01:43We challenge them about one of the most controversial wars in modern times.

01:50Why has the most powerful army in the Middle East, Israel, killed so many children?

01:56Do you think that revenge has become a major factor in Israel's response?

02:00Can Hamas be destroyed?

02:02Hamas as a military organisation will be destroyed.

02:06They hate us.

02:07We saw the results.

02:09The idea of eradicating Hamas completely from Gaza is a just cause.

02:16I don't think that anyone made a deliberate decision to kill children.

02:20The idea of us doing everything to avoid civilian casualties is a blunt lie, a straight lie.

02:28Gaza was already one of the most desperate places on earth.

02:33Now it's uninhabitable, plagued by mass starvation and disease.

02:39When I look at it, Israel is committing a series of war crimes.

02:45Some warn that Israel's fierce response to October 7 will have sown seeds of hatred for

02:51generations to come.

02:55Is there a way out of what's beginning to look like the forever war?
