Re: Israeli forces involved in Northern Gaza?
Another interesting thread on the
Tank-Net
Especially this:
Quote:
As far as AT weapons the Hamas really doesn't have anything more advanced than RPG-7 in any significant quantities. They might have a few Saggers here and there, if at all. I heard rumors of RPG-29's, but again, even if they have those, most likely very few. They do have a lot of home grown RPGs and various rockets (Manic I think posted a clip featuring one of these earlier), but they generally suck.
Realizing this as a problem, they bank on using IEDs in a big way - and these they have ****loads of, in all shapes and sizes, up to several hundred kilograms (yes, really). They have managed to destroy Merkava's before, and are hoping to do it again. If/when the IDF will get into the really dense urban zones, the centers of their cities, it will have to be by foot.
