Massacring civilians is fine, but occupying is a bridge too far, I guess.

I definitely get your point here, but a ground invasion would be irreversible. They would never leave Gaza

Haven't they done it twice before? Something like 2006 and 2014?

They didn't demand evacuation back then. They invaded, killed a bunch of people, declared victory, then left (obvious oversimplification). This time, they ordering the civilian population to leave seems to be an indication they expect to invade, murder stragglers, then annex the land once it's empty and leveled. It does seem to go along with the rhetoric of “exerting a price they've never dreamed of”.

It's very much a price the Palestinians dream of though. Israeli settler groups did exactly that in 1947.

Death is kinda irreversible too

Agreed. Just needed to point this out
