Neither random tweets, nor Reutir seem like a good sources, take a look at Reutir's "about us" page.

I wouldn't be surprised if they annex Gaza, at least the north part. Bibi says he wants security control over it...

i can’t believe that they would kill all of these people and destroy everything without a real goal

They say they're there to depose Hamas, I'm not sure why you say it's unrealistic. Game theory could support a harsh response, imposing a high cost should anyone consider future attacks against Israel's civilians. Netanyahu is very unpopular right now so it could also be a political move to appease voters who want some revenge/justice/catharsis.

Yeah, bombing people is notoriously good at deterring further political violence (/s obviously).

What do you call collective punishment again? A War Cream? No that's not right ...

It's called war between nations, asymmetrical war but war nonetheless. They're not starving out Gaza and demanding civilians bring them hamas, they're going in there themselves.

If Gaza surrenders then terms like war crimes for collective punishment start making sense. Right now they have their own government which happens to be comprised of belligerent terrorists. Israel isn't leaving until that's no longer the case.

Hard to be belligerent when you're under a blockade/military occupation (which is BTW an act of war).
