>>>There were 60 people inside. They heard a voice over a loudspeaker telling them to leave, but they didn't. "We were scared to death," said Hanoun. Then soldiers broke through a wall from a neighbor's house.<<<

Yep, looks like the Israeli's learned the same lessons our WWII grunts did. All Armies have to learn these things over and over. They suffer from "CRS". (can't remember s**t).

>>> Israeli soldiers avoided suspicious-looking doors and instead tunneled through walls or had bulldozers shear off the facades of buildings to expose any snipers within. Any building that could serve a military function was leveled. "We could have taken the camp in one day by using artillery and aircraft bombardment," said Brigadier General Eyal Shlein, who commanded the operation. "But we didn't. That cost us a lot of casualties."<<<

We would have leveled the place with 105 Howitzers or with Air.
