They bombed Gaza into rubble before sending ground troops in. Something that makes zero sense because it turns the urban environment into something even more advantageous for the defenders. Then they are surprised that Hamas and other resistance forces are taking advantage of the mountains of rubble filling streets to stage ambushes.

It would have been one thing if they sent ground troops in and called in airstrikes on fortified enemy positions whenever they met resistance but they turned the entire city into rubble beforehand. I almost feel bad for the IOF idiots I see in videos getting filled with lead as they try to climb through rubble. A lot of those locations don't look like it's possible to get infantry fighting vehicles or heavy weapons into because the streets are impassable for anyone but people on foot.
