@lemmy.dbzer0.comI'll focus only on a few big points.
Turkey also bombs the SDF, which isn't considered a terrorist group by anyone (other than Turkey and Qatar maybe).
Even the PKK, which is the worst out of the Kurdish groups, only calls for an autonomous area in Turkey, and not for the annihalation of Turkey or for the death of all Turks.
The Kurds were oppressed and persecuted for a very long time under Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Their neighbours all want them gone or dead (although some would be fine "just" with forced assimilation), similarily to how they view / have viewed Israel and Jews.
Kurds barely get any support, even from the USA.
Hamas has the support of many states and groups all over the region.
I'd say these are quite different situations.
All the negotiations were approved by Sinwar in Gaza, who's supposedly the most fanatic one.
His death weakens them, although it's certainly not enough. But he's also not the only one they got to.
Hamas is close to losing their grip on Gaza. It will benefit everyone if they become irrelevant.
Moderate?
The guy who lead Hamas when they threw Fatah officials off buildings and shot into crowds of their supporters?
That under him Hamas charter included this very moderate part
“The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’”
He wasn't a moderate in any way, and it's bizarre to see people referring to him in this way.
Since it's written right after the mention of their drug trade, I'm guessing it's about Hezbollah's drug trade with ISIS https://www.phc.edu/intelligencer/hezbollahs-drug-deal-with-isis
Maybe also related to the Assad regime's use of ISIS as a tool against the Druze.

It hit an area where people do not serve in the IDF.
This was generally true before the Syrian civil war. Things have changed since.
Haaretz article about it
Speaking with reporters at Majdal Shams, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that forensics showed the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1.
Hezbollah had earlier announced firing a Falaq-1 missile on Saturday, saying it had targeted an Israeli military headquarters.
Druze serve in the IDF.
Edit: Although it's true that Druze in the Golan are different than the rest of the Druze in Israel, in that some of them don't serve.
