I've been watching a lot of the footage coming out of the conflict. The Israelis were using almost exclusively Mk-84 2000lb class warheads with various guidance kits attached (JDAM, Paveway, Spice). These are the largest class of commonly utilized air dropped warheads, the others being 1000lb, 500lb and 250lb. There were pictures of them staging hundreds for the initial assault and it's likely that ultimately thousands were dropped. These are not "precision" weapons, they are 100 times the size of the warhead on the AGM-114 hellfire missiles which are commonly used for counter insurgency operations and have a fragmentation radius in excess of 400 yards.

The Israeli army also possesses a fleet of specially armored Caterpillar D9 mining bulldozers which appear to be a central part of their current combined arms/armored doctrine on the ground. These are 4m tall, over 100,000lbs and, unusually, are used as front line units destroying buildings so ground troops don't need to fight amongst them.

The combination of these strategies really seems to suggest this isn't a counter-insurgency campaign at the planning level. They very much seek to pave over the entire strip.

Wikipedia's source for the Palestinian death count also says that 240,000 homes are damaged and 50,000 have been completely destroyed. (https://english.palinfo.com/news/2023/11/28/310227/)

I don't know how reliable The Palestinian Information Center is though. Is there a better English language source for how many Palestinians have been killed or are still alive?

while the whole military, munitions, and hostages are underground unscathed

those buildings are damaged because the side with guided missiles wanted to damage them, not because a Hamas janitor was seen on the 5th floor, as if that’s the only way to deal with that

Israeli internal communication has been openly genocidal for decades. But our political classes got taken in my their nonsense somehow and helped them arm up to the point where they could actually just start bombing children with no repercussions. In a just world, everyone who ever supported this should never see power again, but of course, that would be much of the political classes of most western nations.

I'm sure all those citizens will be allowed to return to their rubblized homes soon. /s
