A military official described the difficult battles: “At every moment, a terrorist pops up. The shooting here doesn’t let up for a minute. Terrorists are operating from within posts, within houses and between them.”

Israel knows how to deal with MOUT situations, bypassing them if possible, establishing overwatch, isolating the built up areas sector by sector, entering with infantry backed up by armor, possible artillery, etc.

What you are seeing here is not a major offensive, not yet, this is preparation of entry points.
