Eyal, 26, first entered Gaza as an army sapper and is now getting ready to return, this time with the mission of taking down Hamas. He describes the experience as a “nightmare” where everything is potentially a bomb or a terrorist. The anticipated invasion of Gaza by Israel is aimed at eliminating Hamas, which has caused significant damage and casualties in recent attacks. The operation is expected to be complex and challenging, with potential intelligence failures and new threats. Despite the risks, Netanyahu is determined to achieve complete victory over Hamas. The IDF has invested in technologies and methods to combat the tunnels and rockets of Hamas, but the situation remains uncertain. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has had devastating consequences in the past, with high numbers of casualties and displaced individuals. This time, Hamas is prepared to use urban defense strategies and low-tech tactics against Israel’s technological superiority. Israel’s military doctrine focuses on rapid destruction of targets, but urban warfare is inherently destructive and comes with collateral damage. Israel has trained extensively for urban warfare at the Baladia facility in southern Israel, using techniques such as breaching walls and armored bulldozers. The next steps for Israel would involve aerial and ground assaults, but they have to overcome Hamas’s defensive lines and navigate through tunnels. The IDF will rely on close combat and specialized equipment. Urban warfare is known for its devastation, but Israel’s mission to dismantle Hamas while minimizing civilian casualties is extremely complex. In previous conflicts, warnings were given to civilians to evacuate, but there were challenges in accurately targeting enemy positions. Israel faces a moral dilemma between using air power that risks civilian casualties or sending in ground troops that increase risks for Israeli soldiers. Netanyahu and the IDF must weigh these factors in their strategy.
