Midnight Merkava Madness coming soon.
It is currently 10:51 PM in Israel.
Trying to full-blown attack a heavily urban locality with your obviously less-than-great military capabilities and your obviously less-than-good generals and commanders in incredibly short notice sure is a good idea in the era of the ATGM. Especially when the "army" you're fighting can't really be decapitated because leadership is probably local and allegiances are half-Hamas and half-whoever-is-commanding-us, and they're all in the midst of civilians, not wearing uniforms and more than willing to fight to the last.
Depending on whether Hamas prepared at all for this possibility, if the Israelis rush this it could end up being a first Grozny-tier disaster. Military decisions made for political reasons (we have to attack fast because we're mad) are nearly always the worst possible thing you could do. I hope those Merkavas are going to the border and aren't meant for any offensive action any time soon.
