Any invasion of the Gaza Strip would be “incredibly difficult”, with urban warfare among the most challenges types of fight in which militaries can engage, Colin P Clarke, conflict and terrorism specialist at the Soufan Group, said.: “Any time you are dealing with a subterranean network of tunnels, it becomes extremely complex. Hamas will have been preparing for an IDF ground assault and knows these tunnels inside and out. Some of them are likely booby-trapped.

He added that equipment including ground mobile drones, uncrewed ground vehicles, and other intelligence assets may be used to map the tunnels and identify booby-traps before sending soldiers to clear them. “The defence minister, Yoav Gallant, was the commander of the southern district of the army and he made a plan a few years ago how to go into Gaza with as few casualties as possible so he knows how to do the work.”
