Why are the enemies of God destroyed?

[Hobie]

We see it over and over, a destruction of people much like we see even today as in Hamas in Gaza. But why, the Bible gives a hint.

Deuteronomy 20:16-18
16 But in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, 17 but you shall devote them to complete destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded, 18 that they may not teach you to do according to all their abominable practices that they have done for their gods, and so you sin against the Lord your God.

And yet we also see this..

Jonah 3:10
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Can that happen today?

how is that applied concerning the christians living in Gaza who have been bombed into oblivion?
