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?

there's no way to get anything into Gaza, Isntreal controls it by land, sea, and air. the only way is through Egypt, but they have no desire to do that plus Isntreal is bombing the shit out of the border crossing. I have no clue how they've managed to get any weapons in Gaza in the first place.

Gaza has an elaborate system of smuggling tunnels, doesn't it?
