The difference is that in those battles sides were pretty evenly matched in terms of firepower. In our case Israel hold an overwhelming advantage. They have an advantage in the amount of explosives too.
For sure, traditionally Israeli military is very loss averse, so if things go as well as most people expect then it's not going to be a long operation.

A lot of their advantage is negated in urban warfare though, and their prior incursions into Gaza went poorly to say the least.
Yeah, that's why I'm saying that losses would still be high.
