The Israeli military said it struck and destroyed around 40 pieces of heavy machinery. Israel said Hamas used the vehicles, including bulldozers, for planting explosives, digging tunnels, and breaching fences, including during the Oct. 7, 2023 attack.
And most of the dead are women and children.

Hey that rubble is crucial to Israeli national security if it was cleared Palestinians could theoretically build housing there and that's a major threat.
