My understanding is the “loosely organized groups of soldiers armed primarily with light weapons, including the occasional RPG” (light infantry units) are formed into battalions and possess a command, control, and communication capability allowing them to operate in a coordinated manner. If this is the case, individual terrorists may be easily replaced but the trained leadership is not.

Great piece.

Just one remark.

Rafah still has 4 battalions ( Gdudim = גדודים ) not brigades ( חטיבות)
