How bad is the Hammas victory?

Hamas has legitamacy now. Which comes with a price.

Now, their leaders can't hide in residential neigborhoods while sending out their suicide bombers. They need to be a very public, central location in order to perform the jobs of a government.

This means, Israel just needs to look one place with a lot more certainty that the target will be there with a big drop off in civilian casualties.
