In their own words, “human animals”, pretty similar to the “untermenschen” (sub-humans) that the previous incarnation of a NAZI ideology used to call those they saw as the lower races.
There is no limit to the horrors that ethno-Fascist ideologies (such as Nazism and Zionism) will inflict exactly because their core is Extreme Racism (while Traditional Fascism generally only goes as far as Ultra-Nationalism) which brainwashes its followers to treat targets as non-human.
The same psychological reason that had members of the SS casually murdering men, women and children of the “untermenschen” races is behind members of the IDF casually murdering men, women and children of the “human animal” races.
