As mentioned in the article..the IDF has discovered that it can do the street thing...the critical mass of engaging the territories is the movement of military assets...the IDF is concerned of getting hit while in transit...they will work this out.
The existance of weapons stores...and their deployment by the P.A. is the next concern...things may be quiet for a bit..as Intel locates the cashes and formulates stratedgy to neutralize them.
Anti -tank missiles and ground to air..are the focus..
In past skirmishes we have only seen a few helicopter gunships and a few target package air strikes by the IDF.. When this op really rolls..chaos will break out for the P.A. as they will experience munitions of high order detonation that will paralize them as they act to respond...
Apache helicopters will vector towards movement..and the streets will be littered with rubble and bodies..it will be way to much for even the BBC to handle...
Israel has adopted the American form of rapid reaction...rapid reaction is based on com link..and superior fire power...shatter revealed resistance in values magnified..creating chaos..and shattering response co-ordination.
Israeli military doctrine is to press and press...we see the odd firefight..but this is like a boxer fighting with only one arm..the P.A. has yet to see the modern IDF in its theatre wide capablity.
The soldiers on the ground will have to have fire in their hearts..or determination...as anyone moving toward them is a potential combatant..in the streets..this is hard..as it is chaotic..and some who are fleeing and screaming might appear beligerent....my heart goes out to these men..they will see and do terrible things we cannot imagine..but this is the reality of city warfare....picture Stalingrad..or Vietnam..this will be the reality of the P.A. mini-war.. many young men will be mentally scarred from experiencing it...

Thank's for your amazing take on this matter. I agree that the lid is truly ready to blow-off in Israel, and they must clean the Terrorists out, now!
