so is breathable air, why not go full war-criminal mode and use chlorine gas to choke everyone to death?

Because HVAC piping can't withstand the pressure of a rocket launch

Reports that Egypt is reinforcing its border with Gaza at Rafah, building lines of sand berms, concrete walls and barbed wire to keep Palestinians from breaching the border

They have a good reason not wanting them

There is a massive difference between smugglers tunnels built in rafah and the sacred tunnels of Gaza, they are not comparable at all.

Also egypt stopped because it was contaminating the water.

One cubic meter of sea water pollutes 40 cubic meters of underground water," said Tamer al-Sleibi, water department director in the Palestinian Environment Quality Authority in Gaza, who is concerned about long-term environmental damage.

Egypt's campaign, he said, could weaken the foundations of homes already on shaky ground due to tunnel-building and make land unfit for agriculture in areas near the frontier. There is also a health risk as the water turns stagnant, allowing mosquitoes and other disease carriers to breed.

Rafah Mayor Subhy Rudwan said the six wells that serve the city of 230,000 are threatened with contamination

Hamas didn't have the tunnels but the smugglers tunnels were already there:
The tunnel network used for warfare purposes has its origins in the smuggling tunnels connecting the Gaza Strip to Egypt. Tunnels have connected the Egyptian and Gazan sides of Rafah since the early 1980s, when the Philadelphi Route artificially divided the city.

Israel is pumping seawater into Gaza to make the case that all gazans must go to the west because they no longer have clean drinking water and with those pesky blokes gone, israel can obtain that sweet oil without hindrance.

And yes, drinking wells:

shallow sandy aquifer, extending eastward to Israel and southward to Egypt. There are more than 5,000 water wells, most of them for agriculture purposes and with an average depth of 40-70 meters, and the water table lies between 20-50 meters below the ground surface.

the fact that the Gaza Coastal Aquifer receives insufficient rainwater quantities for recharge, Israeli water policies have aimed at further reducing the aquifer’s renewable yield through the impediment of surface and groundwater[7] On one hand, Israel diverted around 20 MCM/ year of surface water from Wadi Ghaza to agricultural fields in Israel before its arrival in Gaza (westwards)[7]. On the other hand, the natural groundwater flow from Israel to the Coastal Aquifer (eastwards) has been reduced through the drilling of a number of deep wells along the Israel-Gaza border.

Not my problem

Next time when you count the dead ask yourself why there are no combatants?
They are all fighting in civilians clothing anouther war crime

BBC: The US has announced a visa ban on extremists (Israeli Jews) responsible for violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. "...More than 700,000 Jewish people live in more than 250 settlements built since Israel's occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. The vast majority of the international community considers the settlements illegal under international law, though Israel and the US dispute this interpretation.".

It will have little or no effect on Israeli (Government, unofficial) policy to remove Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank, but it indicates that the US is coming under increasing pressure (from somewhere) as related to their relationship with Israel. What I am most interested in is where the pressure upon the US Government is coming from.
