You might be hearing analysts compare the Israel assault on Gaza to the US-led coalition assault on Mosul to clear ISIS in 2016-2017 or Falluja in 2004. I’ve been in both those battles for extended periods of time & I’ve covered their aftermath. It is true that both the battles of Mosul and Falluja involved:
An intense bombing campaign (ie blow it to pieces)
Warn civilians to leave .
Go in on the ground.
