Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?

      True, but the Hamas fighters have outstanding mobility and if they know their guerrilla tactics they'll "grab them by the belt buckle" negating or limiting Israeli air power, while using tunnels and superior knowledge of the urban layout to out maneuver and wreak havoc on those demoralized blocking units

      If they think they can get away with it they wont fight room to room. They'll bomb back apartment block by apartment block.

      This won't work. The tunnel networks prevented it in 2014 and they are vastly bigger and more complex now. There is no shifting Hamas without a painful ground operation.

      all that the bombing will do is create Eternal Stalingrad. Rubble will be deadlier for IDF than structures.
