>What's up with the Israeli military apparently forgetting everything it knew about urban combat?
It's probably less forgetting and more
>IDF suffering a personnel shortage (you can only have so many reservists on duty at any given time without having a negative impact on the economy), meaning that the occupation duties primarily fall on inexperienced conscripts
>lack of major combat actions create a false sense of security among Israeli soldiers, allowing Hamas fighters operating individually or in small groups to infiltrate Israeli lines more easily
>morale sagging due to the outrage of 10/7 having largely worn off and being increasingly replaced with discontent with Israel's inability to decisively finish the war/starting new wars with Iran
