    Hamas has amassed a formidable rocket arsenal since Israeli soldiers last entered Gaza in 2014. It has also built hundreds of kilometres of tunnels, nicknamed the “Gaza Metro”, to move fighters and weapons around undetected, and trained for urban combat.

    It’s going to be Vietnam-style guerilla warfare in an urban area. Pop out of the tunnels, attack from the shadows, then disappear back into the tunnels.

    I don’t think so…

    This might apply if they were not going to just level the place.

    This will probably be more “shock and awe” combined arms level the place and anyone in it with the orders being that in 24h time anyone left there is to be considered an enemy combatant.

    I don’t agree with killing civilians like that but that’s what’s going to happen. Because right now they feel they have the geopolitical cover to just go in like a steamroller and flatten everything.
