The Israeli bombs were aimed to destroy the infrastructure, to destroy Gaza’s economy.
If you want to destroy the infrastructure, destroy an economy, bomb bridges, roads, oil/gas terminals, power plants and loading docks.

The one thing you don't bomb, if you want to destroy infrastructure and an economy, is farms. You can't destroy dirt by bombing it. The next day it's still dirt. (And now, it's pre-tilled!) (that is a joke)

If you want to destroy farms, why not use salt? It's very available in the area (the Dead Sea is right there) and utterly cheap. I wager $1,000 of salt would ruin more farmland, for far longer, than $1 million in modern bombs.
