Is hard. With Israelis, it is ones in tank who fire at everything. They fire like a party of drunken sailor.
In parts of Gaza - such as where I am talking - it is not possible to have tanks come through this zone.
Both too small streets and also that the Hamas terrorists have anti-tank launchers.
Much more safe to draw fire and then call in IAF.
Not much safe for peoples in buildings. Why you can't use tank?
Urban area. Narrow streets.
Instead you call planes to destroy whole neighbourhood with phosphorus bomb. Much safer.
Israel still uses Amerikan blitzkreig tactics from 1960s. Even Amerika no longer use this strategy. It must deal with guerilla tactics, light weapons, IEDs, suicide bomber. Also, war is now fought in media.
Israeli strategy cause high civilian deaths. This breeds more anger. Anger is not terrorism, it is war. Israel is not fighting terrorism, it is fighting a war. Each dead mother or child has a son, a brother, an uncle or father.
Israel is intoxicated by its Amerikan weapons and divine mission.
It was too dangerous and we had no cover fire.
