  1. The IDF will be spread too thin to maintain the intensity of occupations in the West Bank and growing conflict along international borders

  2. Their rapidly crumbling international support will take a massive hit from the brutality of such an assault and could prompt direct retaliation from Hezbollah

  3. Many, many IDF soldiers will get fucking obliterated entering hyper dense urban combat against a million people with nothing left to lose

These three combine to create the likelihood that Israel would be utterly defeated in such an action. The IDF is a paper tiger when they aren't bombing an imprisoned civilian population.

Thoughts? Am I right or wrong with this take?

Entirely correct. Hamas has the superior position going forward: Netanyahu has made a great miscalculation, and many Western governments have walked into a terrible trap. Despite having the best propaganda, and immense power to disseminate (dis)information, the online illusions created by the IDF are just that, and will not hold up: the world does not support Israel.

Did Bibi forget that Gaza was a military quagmire 20 years ago?
