Well, the stated goal of the retaliation is to remove Hamas' ability to execute further massacres.
There are good and bad ways of doing this, but while the headlines are full of casualty numbers, they don't actually break down how many of the dead are soldiers.
So I'd say that Israel's reaction is overkill but largely effective. They would have been wiser to combine the carrot and the stick, ruthlessly rooting out Hamas while showering Gazans with kindness by avoiding a humanitarian disaster.
