No purpose for this other than the collective punishment of civilians. Israel is a rogue state fully backed by the US.

That’s a road, do you actually think they would put buildings there and make it all walking and bicycling friendly? Why not just a big ass highway right through the residential area?
It’s well established that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure, which would make these legal targets and not collective punishment.
@DarkGamer that’s a bit of a misconception. They’re not legal targets according to most international law experts. Eg
Even when civilian housing may be used by combatants to take shelter, as alleged in the attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp, launching attacks on entire apartment blocks is prohibited if they will lead to disproportionate damage, death and displacement of a large number of civilians, the UN expert warned.
“No asserted right of self-defence under international law can cover such attacks,” he said. “This is particularly the case when the right of self-defence is asserted in the context of an occupation.”
That’s how you justify a genocide of Palestinians?
So you’re saying there’s land for development once this is all over!?
(I would use a sarcasm tag here, but I’m fairly certain that’s the whole fucking play by Israel, the bastards)
Not the land, but the underwater natural gas deposits. https://www.workers.org/2023/11/74864/
On Oct. 29, Israel announced that it awarded 12 licenses for exploring additional offshore natural gas fields to six companies, including British Petroleum and Italian energy giant Eni. These awards show that Israel has no intention of letting the genocide it is carrying out against Gaza’s people interfere with its ongoing theft of Palestinian resources.
