Simply not true, in 2018 iirc there were about 1500 Palestinian deaths and 0 israeli deaths. Israelis are not the victims. They constantly bully Palestinians out of their homes under military protection. Currently the civilians of gaza are under siege and even if they wanted to leave they cannot, they have nowhere to go.
True. Hamas also offered to release the prisoners in exchange for all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. Israel continues to refuse the swap and as a result some have died in the bombings.
I think the Israeli government has decided that the prisoners are of no value to them. It disempowers Hamas, so they will be less likely to take prisoners in the future.
The Israeli government will only accept two outcomes at the moment. Destruction of all organized Hamas resistance or unconditional surrender of the hostages. Hama will not do the latter, so they are doomed to suffer the former.
