The Toll of Urban Warfare on the IDF
The urban warfare in Gaza has taken a toll on the IDF, with over 120 Israeli soldiers killed in the ground invasion, marking it as one of the deadliest military operations in years. Remarkably, around 20% of the Israeli soldiers killed were inadvertently killed by their own team members. This unusually high number of friendly fire incidents indicates a critical issue on the ground, with reports suggesting that a mix of accidental gunfire, shelling, and airstrikes has led to numerous mistakes. The involvement of reservist soldiers, who may not be fully updated on the latest tactics and skills, in the complex battlefield has also contributed to the high rate of errors in the Israeli military's operations in Gaza.
