No purpose for this other than the collective punishment of civilians. Israel is a rogue state fully backed by the US.

So you're saying there's land for development once this is all over!?

(I would use a sarcasm tag here, but I'm fairly certain that's the whole fucking play by Israel, the bastards)

Not the land, but the underwater natural gas deposits. https://www.workers.org/2023/11/74864/

On Oct. 29, Israel announced that it awarded 12 licenses for exploring additional offshore natural gas fields to six companies, including British Petroleum and Italian energy giant Eni. These awards show that Israel has no intention of letting the genocide it is carrying out against Gaza’s people interfere with its ongoing theft of Palestinian resources.
