The IDF will be spread too thin to maintain the intensity of occupations in the West Bank and growing conflict along international borders
Their rapidly crumbling international support will take a massive hit from the brutality of such an assault and could prompt direct retaliation from Hezbollah
Many, many IDF soldiers will get fucking obliterated entering hyper dense urban combat against a million people with nothing left to lose

These three combine to create the likelihood that Israel would be utterly defeated in such an action. The IDF is a paper tiger when they aren't bombing an imprisoned civilian population.

Thoughts? Am I right or wrong with this take?

Does Hamas still have a bunch of hostages?

Zionists are fascists and fascists care very little for human life, even that of their fellow fascists.

Zionists have already said about hostages being killed: "You trust Hamas that they weren't already killed? They were dead as soon as they were captured." So I would guess that any captives in Palestine do not have a good chance of being returned.

Yes, but some of them have already been killed by the bombing
