The issue as I see it is that the tools available don't just determine how a given war is fought, they also determine whether it is fought at all. If Israel wasn't able to use tools like this, then it probably wouldn't be viable for them to identify much of Hamas (that's kind of the point of guerilla warfare). Since that would make it difficult to fight a war efficiently, they would be more likely to engage in diplomacy.
