Hellfires would likely be used to pick off Hamas leaders as they move, and to reduce IDF and civilian casualties with precision air cover.
Congress will support Israel, but this was probably the only way Obama could restrain Israel in the short run, to protect Hamas. I would not be surprised if they also coordinated with the (leftist party) Brits to cut off resupply of precision munitions, to tie Israel’s hands.
How to overcome Obama’s sabotage is perhaps Israel’s toughest challenge in defeating Hamas.
