Opposite of the implication in the headline, what Israel proposes, i.e. destruction of the source of any missile is perfectly legal under the Geneva and Hague conventions. Protected property that is used for military purposes loses its protection and becomes a military target.

So, if Hamas wants to use an ambulance for a troop carrier,the ambulance becomes a legitimate target. Likewise, If Hamas/Hizzbollah wants to use a civilian dwelling for launching rockets,the dwelling is transformed into a legitimate military target.

Easy to state in theory. Harder to do when the islamonazis launch rockets from hospital courtyards, schools, etc.

Just watch the world media reaction.

The y need to push the rules of the Geneva and Hague conventions. Level the ground for a mile in every direction from the launch location. Make a them understand they’ll become flatlanders if they continue to attack. If needed start by aiming at the closest mosques then back to the launch location.
