Gaza is harder than Mosul (Iraq)

U.S. defense secretary Lloyd Austin predicts invading Gaza will be more difficult than the 9-month assault against ISIS in Mosul:

"Urban combat is extremely difficult. It goes at a slow pace. This may be a bit more difficult because of the underground network of tunnels that Hamas has constructed over time, and the fact that they have had a long time to prepare for a fight.

"So I think you'll see a fight that's characterized by a lot of IEDs, a lot of booby traps, and just a really grinding activity going forward.”
