A lot of their advantage is negated in urban warfare though, and their prior incursions into Gaza went poorly to say the least.

Yeah, that's why I'm saying that losses would still be high.

For sure, traditionally Israeli military is very loss averse, so if things go as well as most people expect then it's not going to be a long operation.
