By announcing it is already a sign of deescalation. Spineless behavior. Israel knows what they are dealing with, that is why they act with impunity.
They did the same thing on Americans. They warn them beforehand the exact time they are going to strike and in which location. American soldiers then go to underground fortified bunkers, and Iran hits a building or two with zero actual military effect.

Iran then comes out and does a big celebration dance. Yawn

Probably same thing will happen this time

Bog standard RPG-7 isn't the same thing an an RPG-29. And even an RPG-7 with the tandem HEAT charge, i.e. PG-7VR, has pretty high penetration. The back of a tank has basically no armor. And neither do the sides for that matter.

The recent tendency of dropping charges vertically from drones on top of the tank is even more dangerous.

It appears that IDF is suffering a major personnel shortage. Forget the ~290k reservists that were called up last year; now, IDF is mandatorily drafting the Haredi Jews (13% of population) who've always been exempt from service.. and they are resisting.

Makes me wonder how much personnel did IDF actually lose as casualties.

IDF is retreating from southern Gaza for 'tactical reasons', with 582 dead soldiers.

I simply cannot believe this number and this retreat considering the articles above.

By now, it should be very clear that the IDF is hiding the true number of dead and wounded.

Like, lmao, at their published 582 deaths, that definitely isn't the full number.

Remember not all casualties are dead soldiers, wounded soldiers would be much higher. Furthermore Israel also suffered casualties at the north in their clashes with Hezbollah.

I will take a guess and say.. The IDF suffered a total of around 3 thousand dead from the clashes in Gaza plus near Lebanon with Hezbollah. And around 11 thousand wounded from clashes at the two fronts of Gaza & Lebanon.
