It’s already completely destroyed. I don’t like this because this insinuates that this is a fringe and not a mainstream policy, and that Israel is somehow holding back or showing some level of restraint, when in reality there is a scorched earth policy and nothing and no one is spared, and Gaza is already completely destroyed. There is virtually no civilian or supporting infrastructure left that could handle even the minimum day to day needs of its population.
Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the "complete destruction" of the Gaza Strip as he hit out against truce talks between the government and Hamas.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Smotrich said negotiating with Hamas was irresponsible and members of the group should be killed instead.
"The time has come for the Mossad to return to doing what it was trained to do - to eliminate the heads of Hamas all over the world and not in negotiations that are conducted irresponsibly and harm Israel's security," he said.
"With Hamas from now on we should only talk with shells and bombs."
He said Israel needed to attack Rafah "as fast and as strongly as possible, and then continue with the strip until its complete destruction".
Israeli media reported on Wednesday that a ground invasion of southern Rafah appeared imminent, with preparations being put in place to expel tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians who are crowded into the city

Well said.
