I am sure that after several years the same thing will happen in the West Bank and they will be pushed to JordanSo they are about to do a pincer sweep of northern Gaza like a comb. The Israelis want to thoroughly kill the people of north Gaza. Israel will claim the remnants of the people they killed as Hamas fighters, a lie to mask the atrocities.
What comes from that is likely a permanent occupation. I also think the destruction of infrastructure is a way to pave new Israeli-purposed building projects and housing for future settlement incursions.
When you think about the overall trajectory of the events, one cannot help but rationally conclude it was all planned from a long-term perspective of absorption and tighter stranglehold, including pressuring the south for population diffusion into Sinai years forward. Even the bombing of civilian areas was meant to create terror, making them more willing to evacuate southward for the overall plan.
