The IDF has been prevented by their political eschelon from calling up their major reserve units, and the older guys with experience fighting, therefore, there are 19-21 yr olds fighting hardened criminals and guerilla fighters led by Iraniann officers.

The younger Israeli soldiers are not sufficiently experienced and therefore will suffer uneccessary casualties, but they will ultimately succeed in their mission, in spite of their civilian leaders.
