It’s called the Dahiya doctrine, it actually was first articulated with Israel’s bombing of Beirut in 2006. Massive destruction of civilian settlements, with the goal to erode the community support of locally based military opposition. It’s intentionally causing mass civilian suffering disproportionate to the military threat as a method of deterrence. Pretty dark stuff to read about. It was developed in Lebanon, deployed in Gaza in 2008 and again now, and is being used in Lebanon again.

That’s absurd wtf 😭 how does massive destruction of civilian settlements negatively influence support for the opposition?

It’s supposed to kind of do two things. One, it’s preventative. It’s supposed to make it so people think twice before shooting rockets into Israel, because the response will be so brutal to everyone else around them. For eroding support, I guess it’s a sort of a “all this destruction happened because you shot those rockets at them” thing?
