What bomb technology and explosives do the Israelis use that enable them to totally pulverize a 3-storey building with a vertical hit, without even damaging the thin breeze block of its neighbor's wall, as in the assassination of Mansour in Gaza?

It's sneakier than you think: Mossad hire @MrBane to replace a hinge on a cupboard in the kitchen of the target dwelling, and let nature take its course...
I have watched these videos on the news with interest and wondered the same myself. Some videos show what seems to be a projectile(s) approaching very fast diagonally from above (probably launched by aircraft) towards the ground near the building that then penetrates the ground with a very small explosion. Then a few seconds later the building collapses within its own footprint. It seems to be some kind of shock wave effect like an earthquake bomb rather than a direct hit on the building itself which would cause the walls to implode / explode outward or create a hole in the side of the building.
Scrolling around the internet suggests that there is indeed some kind of IDF weapon system that strikes at the base of the building. Towers as high as 20 stories have been taken down this way.

With respect, I'm not sure the damage in the photo is serious enough for it to have been that...
Serious answer is that you can do some very interesting things with a variety of PGMs in terms of their delivery profile, their fusing and choice of warheads and the like to achieve some very interesting outcomes, and we, the US and the IDF are not alone in being able to do so.
Further to my post above, here is a video of a building being dropped live during a BBC broadcast. Watch the building behind the reporter and the small puff of dust/smoke at the base of the building about 10 seconds in. Then a much larger explosion about 34 seconds in which brings the building down like in a controlled demolition.
