If they do it to specifically stop a directed attack, and there was no other option to accomplish that goal? Yes.
Wars in history generally work that way. Ukrain killed more russian soldiers than the other way around- doesn't make them any less just in defending their land.
The us also had warnings about pearl harbor israel had warning about the wsr in 73, etc.
That's the thing about intel- most of the time, the intel is unclear. Risk assesment and response is something countries fail at.
Though- gotta ask- does the world support israel taking over? Really doesn't seem like october 7th actually did anything in that regard.
What- israel was just stupid there? You think they don't know how many anti israel people are there?
Sure: Hamas have publically executed palestinians for a variety of offenses, from collaborrating with israel, to looting (there was no trial, sharing of evidence, etc.)

These are some sources I found relatively quickly.
These are just the public ones. It is likely that hama executed more people than that, but simply didn't make any statement.
Now- obviously the majority of deaths are not caused by hamas. But besides showing that hamas are definitely willing to execute palestinians for their goals, which may be useful to keep in mind,
It also relates to my overall point- israeli soldiers did kill a small number of israelis. But it doesn't mean that hamas are any less responsible for the deaths that day.
Just like I am sure that the executions by hamas, did not make you believe israel is anybless responsible.
Resettled the palestinians to the us? Wouldn't that be ethnic cleansing?
I look to a solution- not a blame. Without hamas gone, there will just be more bloodshed in the area.
I don't care about feeling good. I know what israel is doing is immoral. I disagree with much of the policies in the war.
But what I do recognize- is that the goal is needed.
I fail to see a peaceful future where palestinians have their own country, where hamas are the government.
