Israel has already bombed again. Is that not a collapse of the ceasefire?
Ceasefires are often pretty dicey and only really work when both sides agree to overlook any number of skirmishes and violations of terms. Right now, a lot of countries are invested to varying degrees in making this stop or at least recede to pre-O7 levels of hostility, so pressuring Israel and Hamas to keep forging ahead.
 
So, we should not kill them?
We don't have to kill them if we can come up with a better way to live for the people who might become them.

Our response to 9-11 created vastly more anti-American sentiment abroad and cultivated an environment which led to more dead Americans, wasted treasure, and a generation of people in places around the world who know nothing about the US except that we blew up their relatives.

And the response to October 7 is the same.
 
We should realize that any comprehensive, lasting solution to the problem is going to require a more complex solution than killing them
Of course, but the only true solution is overcoming the generational brainwashing of religious extremism, which is a very, very long term goal; well outside of either of our lifetimes. In the meantime, we treat them like the murderous terrorists that they are, make it as difficult as possible to be terrorists and try to limit their numbers.
