In the Hunger Games series, President Snow approved of bombing District 13 in Mockingjay Part 1 because District 13 was leading the rebellion against the Capitol, and he wanted to eliminate their potential threat. District 13 was also home to key members of the rebellion, including Katniss' mentor, Plutarch, and President Coin, making it a strategic target for the Capitol. Snow believed that by destroying District 13, he could cripple the rebellion and maintain his hold over the remaining districts.

Very true, Genina.
