ok and please understand I do not want to talk about the overlying issue there's talk of a ground invasion of Gaza by Israel my EXTREMELY NARROW QUESTION NOT RELATED TO ANY NORMATIVE ISSUE is how does this work? I thought wisdom was counterinsurgency warfare in cities is nuts

in gaza specifically the situation is unique bc israel has effectively been running a resource blockade on it for like a decade normal counterinsurgents have food/weapons bought from international arms dealers, whatever insurgents find in gaza has to be smuggled in first

so like, imagine you’re invading a city w/ no prior warning vs a city you’ve disarmed over a period of several years imo it would still be Very Bad but IDF would almost certainly win (also a good sub for asking these kind of strategy questions w/o politics: r/WarCollege!)
