Israel barely does ground combat in Gaza. 90% of its campaign is bombing hospitals and schools from the sky. When they finally roll up to do some ground combat some dude in flip flops walks up and throws a mine into their tank and they take heavy casualties.
What Israel does in the West Bank is comparable with US police minus the land mines in the West Bank. But Israel is not spending billions in military funding on their West Bank raids.
They are continually engaged in ground operations in Gaza and the West Bank. This is the part that’s most relevant to domestic law enforcement and why so many major departments in America receive direct training from the idf.
This is an article from 2016 talking about cops training with the idf. It’s not made up. Nearly all of their militant acts are useful in some way and they are incentivized by themselves and the west to be a premier partner here
