> Do you want to enrage your enemy into more violence

Yes, in a "go on, make my day" kind of way, to justify even more future military action, since Israel is likely to win any future conflict.

> This is why the US military didn't release anything

US military's goal was not the same as Israel's goal.

> or do you want to win?

They want to win, but not as you think.

Their definition of "win" is to ethnically clean Palestinians from biblical Israel, so yes, engaging them in more and more and more violence is the way to go.

> You're just setting up the next wave of violence.

And the next wave of violence will lead to the next way of Israel wins, and the next way of Israel wins will lead to the next way of settlements and land expropriation. Mission accomplished. The Israeli far right loves it when a plan comes together.

> It's not a fucking game.

Your problem is that you dont even for a second consider the possibility that Israel is the bad guy in this game, i.e. the Nazis, so youre all the time "wrong move, wrong move, WTF are they doing?!?!". From a bully's point of view, Israels tactics fully make sense. You start a conflict and then you win and you take your victims toys and chase him from the playground.
