    The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) launched the largest military operation across the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, August 27, aiming at crushing the Palestinian armed resistance groups. According to Israeli media outlets, the operation is the largest assault carried out by the Israeli military since 2002 at the peak of the Second Intifada. The operation involves hundreds of Israeli ground soldiers, warplanes, drones, and bulldozers.

    Why else would you send bulldozers into a warzone if not for just outright genocidal shit? Less armored than a tank and its only purpose in such a context is to more efficiently destroy civilian infrastructure.
