With enough people and equipment, anything is possible. I'm sure the JDAMs did most of the heavy lifting.

Once the bombs do the work it isn't unimaginable for some D9s to clear a lot of territory.

On YouTube, people like Bisan Owda visit some of these places, you can see what it's like.

Not a construction worker but I work with disaster relief and humanitarian aid organisations.

It is not possible if you care for either the inhabitants or your own folks

If you don't it is, plainly said, fairly easy. It happens in basically every conflict.

Yes. With enough equipment and labour force, and a touch of diligent planning...

As a direct example, see the video linked (100+ excavators demolish a city overpass overnight).

This is an engineering question and engineering questions almost always come down to "do you have enough time and money?"

Since the time scale is two weeks, we only need to know if the Israel had enough resources (bull dozers, wrecking balls, bombs, personnel etc. I don't have that information, but it doesn't sound impossible. If a man can be put on the moon, a city could be bulldozed in two weeks.
