Israeli soldiers march in a war-torn Gaza alley, as a photo released by the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) shows the operational "theatre".
It is more complicated than it seems, 24 soldiers killed since the beginning of the invasion. Every alley can contain many surprises, it becomes a corridor of death, as the soldiers themselves discovered in the battles of the past.
There are several threats to those who progress.
Meanwhile, not a little danger comes from the mines, hidden under the ruins of the bombings.
They are activated by pressure or by a thin wire stretched between the two ends, by the remote control.
Decades of enmity have taught the Palestinians the techniques, the "mixes", the power, the resistance of the weaponry, the countermeasures taken by their opponents.
On the upper floors, behind the broken windows, may be the presence of shooters, elements equipped with simple anti-tank RPG rockets and grenades.
An apparently uninhabited building may house the entrance to a tunnel, the hideout of the Mujahideen.
The house itself becomes a trap if the militants fill it with explosives and blow it up after the enemy has entered.
A tactic often used in the Syrian civil war.
In some cases, soldiers and insurgents, to avoid exposure, open gaps between one house and another, creating a route of safety.
The strip, like many urban areas, is not homogeneous, after a cluster of houses can be passed into an open space and therefore turn into a point where snipers are able to shoot a target from afar.
Otherwise, the "observers" pass coordinates for mortar and anti-tank fire.
The Israeli military also has to worry about a simple and universal weapon: drones converted to drop bombs.
The al Qassam Brigades used it to damage the towers around the wall, to hit a Merkava tank and when there are concentrations of troops. Hamas highlights the tactics of its attackers in video, Israel Defense shows a platoon with a dog equipped with a small camera.
When necessary, they send it forward and the device sends the images back to the controller. This becomes important during a penetration or if they need to check someone's presence in an environment.
The Oketz dog unit was created with this task and was involved in extensive actions where interventions, however, always present unexpected events.
In December 1988 the commandos reached the caves of Nameh, a location on the Lebanese coast that housed a base for Ahmed Jibril's terrorists.
They were discovered by a guard, the dog carrying an explosive charge disobeyed orders, but above all there was no specific target./ "Corriere Della Sera"
