The problem with that, missiles and bombs won't do all that much. An example is our drone strikes in Pakistan...same thing, poor result. Kill a few but other than that...
Uhhhhh the drone program is one of the most successful military endeavors known to man. The vast majority of Al-Qaeda was wiped out with drones. That's one of the reasons we've had so few casualties -- we don't need to be present to actually kill our enemies. Being a drone pilot is also much less taxing than being an actual pilot.

Carpet bombing the strip with conventional munitions until there isn't anything left alive on the surface would do a lot to assist with repopulation of the area with more desirable inhabitants. Sure, you aren't going to kill all of the fighters, but you'll get most of the women and children and destroy Hamas's ability to continue the population and replace fallen fighters. Close the area off and re-treat the area every few months to get any stragglers, then let it lie fallow for about 2-3 decades. After a period of time, sweep in and round up the aged fighters who will largely be unable to resist at this point. You can intern them, or do whatever you feel is needed. Now the area should be ripe for re-colonization with minimal risk of unexploded munitions and hidden fighters.
Of course, that's only possible with a complete disregard for human life or morals. So basically what a lot of countries accuse Israel of having.
