Obviously this is the kind of stuff that happens in urban guerrilla warfare in extremely hostile territory, and Israel was probably running good that this hasn't happened more often.
Maybe a result of hubris. Their troops had been doing so well versus Hamas in street/tunnel fighting maybe they stopped doing enough bombing ahead of time to soften things up. Maybe they should pull out of Khan Yunis, give civilians a few days to flee, and then completely flatten it before moving in again.
they have been setting up traps in buildings for a long time. plenty of Qassam videos of them.
theres tons of Qassam videos of sniping soldiers with rifles or thermobaric grenades and blasting armored vehicles with rocket launchers or mines. like, theres vids daily. I dont post them but maybe I should if you actually think they are running well vs Hamas.
its real funny how Israel will declare an area secure and then the next day Hamas posts a video from that same area of them blasting the invaders.
and civilians cant flee Khan Yunis. thats the whole point. they surrounded it and cut it off.
