Putting to one side questions of ethics and politics and should-they-even-be-there, this video shows terrifying incompetence by the chain of command.
Where the f--- are the IDF infantry?
If you drive a tank around by itself in a built-up area full of rubble you created and tunnels full of people whose families you killed, the tank is going to get shanked.
For sure.
Even if the only opposition are starving untrained partisans with improvised explosives.
But a single fire team of infantry following the tank around could protect it and kill any reasonable number of angry young men with improvised explosives.
Infantry are cheap, and Israel has plenty.
Coordination between different combat arms was never Israel's strong point (the teamkills on Oct7 were disgraceful), but f--- they really should have learned by now. Who's running that circus?
