Civilians would be murdering Hamas members, who are not civilians, but Hamas would be murdering civilians to protect itself from the civilians rising up against them. If the Palestinian civilians are already dying from IDF counter-attacks, why not die killing Hamas terrorists instead? Because at least when Hamas dies off the IDF bombs stop. If they keep fighting the IDF in the name of Hamas, the IDF counter-attacks never stop and peace never becomes possible. That's the game theory approach. The Palestinian civilians are dying either way, so why not die fighting against Hamas terrorists until they are finished off (a lot easier than finishing off the IDF) and then there can be a peace worked out from there with potential statehood at the end of the tunnel. The solution is pretty fucking simple to me (as a non-Palestinian) and the Sunnis abandoning AQI to end the Sunni-Shia civil war in Iraq (and the insurgency campaign against the US/Iraqi government) is a great example. Had the Sunnis and Shia just kept killing each other there wouldn't have been five years of relative peace until ISIS came over the border in 2013. In fact, a protracted Sunni-Shia civil war would have given ISIS a lot more shelter in Iraq had it still been going on in 2013.
Although I understand your reasoning it seems to me it would just devolve into civil war in Gaza and I'm not sure which side would win. Hamas is surely better armed and organized. That would give them the edge.
The problem is that like the Sunni-Shia Civil War you address above it will lead to civilians on either side murdering each other.
