A ground invasion will get very ugly for both.

It may get ugly, but Israel is Justified invading Gaza. There is no other way than to entirely conquer Gaza by ground troops. It may result in many Israeli army deaths, but it is analogous to 1968 when the United States and South Vietnam cleared out Hue in urban siege warfare. Any use of massive aerial bombardment would only make Gaza more difficult to conquer. German artillery and aircraft turned Stalingrad into rubble, but it actually assisted the Soviets in defending the city.

I don’t think that there will be a house to house clearing operation. Rather, I think Israel will starve them out by opening an evacuation corridor for women and children. Israel will demand that Hamas surrender. Failing that, Gaza will be leveled and paved over.

The Israeli’s are much smarter than Hamas or Hezbollah.
Terrorists operate on pure hatred, taught from birth. Hate will consume them.
They can act as animals, but the Israeli’s will totally eliminate forces from either of the Terrorist Groups.
Israeli precision in battle is well known.
