She's definitely not wrong but, to me, it seems obvious that it's capturing the level of scope. The hostages affect the families to which those hostages belonged but it's the entirety of Gaza that was being attacked and starved (and, hence, the entire people).

Granted, dehumanization doesn't have to follow any logic to get kicked off and the wording could still have that effect, nonetheless.
