โ—๏ธHaaretz, 14 May:

๐Ÿ”ป "The renewed operations in Jabalya and other parts of northern Gaza, like Gaza City's Zeitoun neighborhood, point to two lessons learned: that the IDF failed to fully assess the scale of Hamas' military infrastructure in Gaza, and that when Israeli forces left the area, it quickly reestablished itself in the vacuum created by the lack of a "day after" strategy."

๐Ÿ”ป "We are in a learning contest with Hamas," Lt. Col. Ye'eli, commander of the 196th Battalion, says. "You can see they've changed tactics and are now focusing more on setting explosive devices in buildings."
