The problem I've always had with human shields is that's not how targets appeared to be selected. And it turned out to be true. See Lavender AI and Where's Daddy. It wasnt the presence of weapons caches etc but the presence of human targets - in their homes, it turns out.

No, Hamas cannot be left in power. Too radical, terrorist, too tainted. Not good for Palestinians either or for peace in the region.

They did offer to lay down arms, though, did you know that? In one of the latest rounds. In exchange for a permanent ceasefire as well as being left a part of the political process but not run in elections. It wasn't good enough. Israel is determined to raze Rafah in the hopes of "destroying" Hamas. I don't know.. a recipe for an even larger humanitarian disaster if that's possible and mass killing and suffering.
