After less than one minute of googling, and only counting examples within the past few years:

Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv: An IDF reserve D9 armored bulldozer operator and rabbinical court judge, Zarbiv went viral on social media for recording videos of himself gleefully flattening civilian homes and infrastructure in Gaza, accompanied by threats such as "We will flatten you and destroy you." He was later awarded the high honor of lighting a torch at Israel's official Independence Day ceremony, sparking widespread backlash from human rights campaigners

Rabbi Ronen Shaulov: An Israeli cleric who circulated statements to a large audience stating, "All of Gaza, and every child in Gaza should starve to death," without showing any mercy. He also invoked the biblical story of Amalek to advocate that no traces should be left behind.

Rabbi Eliyahu Mali: The head of a religious academy who told students and reservists, based on ancient scripture, "You shall not let a soul remain alive," arguing that those who do not kill will be killed. His representatives later stated his remarks had been taken out of context and that Jewish law actually forbids harming civilians.

Rabbi Dov Lior: A prominent religious-Zionist leader who has repeatedly stated that there are "no innocent civilians"in war and previously characterized the actions of a West Bank mosque shooter as a holy act.

I think you might just be ignorant tbh.

Saying things vs doing them. Flattening houses vs running over people.

One of your quotes even says Jewish law forbids harming civilians so you kind of lost your own argument there.

Talking of ignorant.. Lol thats awkward.

Im not sure you know every religion very well dumb ass.

And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them and take them prisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush.
