Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why would you be doing a controlled demo of buildings when you're only there to root out terrorists and, as a member of the most moral army in the world, you respect the right of peaceful people to live?
Similar questions for all the people in r/worldnews saying they're going to use this to justify more airstrikes
Oh, this was it huh. Deffinitly not like they've just been indiscriminately bombing civilians the whole time. How foolish of hamas to give them sonething to justify it, the rest of the world would never allow it otherwise.
Best guess... trying to make building unsafe for habitation instead of completely flattened.
It'd be easier for civilians to know where to hide if the choices were rubble or standing structures. Weaken the roof supports and load bearing walls but leave the building standing and anybody who runs to a standing building to hide during a firefight or bombing still might die due to the blasts nearby collapsing the building.
(And in the future, a pile of rubble is easier to clean up than an unstable building still standing. So just in case the Occupation forces do leave, it will be a more costly project for the Palestinians to rebuild)
