@Raze Now consider the other ~40% of Israelis in that same poll who oppose killing even terrorists who are no longer a threat and support investigating soldiers.
That alone shows you a lot.

I've heard that one of the key reasons for Israel's radical current politics is the nature of the coalition government. That Netanyahu's power relies on keeping a far right sector of the coalition satisfied, and that this moves his position much more to the right.

I can't remember where I learnt this perspective but was curious if you agree with this.

You are accurate about the Israeli problematic system of governance. Every prime minister must maintain a coalition of at least 61 Knesset members which is more than half of the total number of 120 Knesset members.

For example, if Smotrich and Ben Gvir withdraw from the government, they leave Netanyahu with a minority government which is unable to pass new legislation or the annual budget, and the moments the Knesset votes on a constructive motion of no confidence on the government, the government automatically collapses. 

So basically, if Smotrich and Ben Gvir's parties withdraw, Netanyahu has a very hard time to do anything significant, and most likely he will be left with no realistic option but to run for new elections.
