Heavy construction equipment was a key stipulation from Hamas in the January ceasefire and threatened to derail the process in February, a month before it eventually fell apart anyway. Hamas said at the time that earth-moving equipment, along with thousands of mobile homes, were needed to provide housing for Gazooks after fighting caused widespread devastation across the Strip.
