IDF now using 1960s era M113 which have proven disastrous in all of their previous conflicts. Palestinians using barrel bombs and thermobaric warhead rockets.

____________________

A shift in tactics has occurred on both sides.

• IDF no longer cruising around much in tanks through Gaza. Palestinian resistance fighters no longer targeting tanks much.

• IDF infantry on foot in Gaza, increasingly involved in sitting at the windows. Palestinian resistance increasingly targeting IDF personnel using sniper roles.

If you noticed the numerous videos I posted of IDF in windows being targetted, you might realize the fact that Palestinian fighters are also firing from windows, generally with rockets or snipers. So how is it that Palestinians can see them, but IDF can't? IDF HUMINT and soldier training is showcasing as inferior.

• IDF window soldiers almost always stand at the edge, sticking their guns out. Palestinian fighters usually positioned deep inside the window room.

These guys at Electronic Intifada do some great tactical analysis and reporting. According to them:
  • video evidence present of Yasin RPG penetrating 600mm of armor.
  • al-Qassam Brigades keeps a tally of their kills on their webpage.
  • Palestinian resistance groups have recorded 1200 RPG strikes.
  • IDF running a serious shortage of D9 bulldozers which the Palestinians are targeting with more interest.

Hezbollah did manage to stop Israel back in 2006, and they had just a fraction of the equipment and training they have now. It is one of the reasons why they are so reluctant to move on them despite the fact they are causing far more damage to the IDF than Hamas, as there is no coming back from that.
Nah, Hamas and other Palestinian fighting groups has done more damage to IDF than Hezbollah.

You underestimate the costs and damages IDF has taken from going into Gaza (although by now, the northern border has likely suffered some 1k+ in casualties from Hezbollah since oct 7).

Sure. If this is meant to be intimidatory, then actual video footage of the GB patrolling would be a show of capability - that we can have you under observation and you are none the wiser. The inevitable ambush and casualties is just a matter of when (of our choosing) not if.

Doing CGI video clips of IDF soldiers patrolling (badly done too) intimidates how? The comic effect of a totally incongruous shadow spoils the intimidatory effect - kinda like Mike Tyson with a squeaky helium voice. Better off for squeaky Mike to not speak and just punch.
I think you have an interpretation problem. The "poorly done" video of the Israeli soldier's shadow walking is not a deliberate CGI error but shows an Israeli soldier carrying the body of another dead or injured Israeli, because this is how Hezbollah intimidates the IDF based on this propaganda clearly demonstrating that Israel will suffer from this operation and this was published hours after Israel attempted to infiltrate reconnaissance troops into southern Lebanon which was publicly repelled according to local sources.
