I agree with you, I watched it again and watched compilations of controlled explosions and it doesn’t look the same (likely due to the debris hiding anything from plain view). I wonder if anyone on lemmy would be more of an expert on this. Still, they had time to go in and plant explosives.

But the IDF itself said it was a controlled explosion.

A screenshot taken from the Times of Israel website. Title: IDF says it is probing demolition of campus in Gaza last week, after US voiced ire. Subtitle: Military says it is looking into approval process for controlled explosion at Israa University; initial findings say Hamas used grounds to conduct attacks on troops. Posted on January 21st

So now that we have established this…

Why would the IDF bomb a university campus, forcing Gazans to rebuild? I think the IDF destroyed . Why do that at all?

But of course your next explanation always comes to the rescue in such questions

wonder if there was fighting with Hamas there during the time Israel used the buildings as a command center?

Do you see how the whole “command center/hamas-did-it/human-shields” trope is what allows the IDF to bomb anyone and anything and kill any child, woman, or man without repercussions? You’re smart, surely you understand that you are here making speculations to excuse inexcusable IDF behavior?

Also somehow it’s okay for Israel to use the university as a command center, but not a resistance group fighting a colonialist power? I mean… you make anything okay for Israel, anything justified, no matter how ugly.

The IDF could kill your mother at this point and you would still go online and say “wonder if there was a Hamas tunnel in her house?”
