Hawkeye (M.A.S.H.) told it like it is... and not just in the Middle-East, either.

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

What if the invasion is a trap?

Apparently the Hamas attack was in the works for years.
What happens if Hamas has been anticipating Israel's next move for years, too?
What happens if Hamas has laid minefields/tanktraps/pre-registered artillery coordinates, etc?
Or maybe dirty bombs.
Ukraine has shown that a big, powerful army is vulnerable to unconventional weapons in the hands of a smaller force.
