This is how Israel attacks Hamas:
F-35, 'sponge bombs' and robots with night vision goggles.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have at their disposal weapons that are among the most modern in the world.
In addition to conventional tools, it uses a number of technical innovations designed specifically for fighting in cities and tunnels drilled under the Gaza Strip.
The IDF is also equipped with Merkava tanks and Eitan and Namer armored vehicles, designed especially for this army.
Soldiers training at the special Urban Warfare Training Center, commonly known as 'Mini Gaza',
make extensive use of drones and other technologies to support street fighting.
One of the new weapons
in the IDF's equipment are the so-called sponge bombs - 'chemical grenades'
without explosives.
The contents of the 'bomb'
are two liquids separated in a plastic container by a metal partition.
After its removal, the compounds mix, leading to a sudden explosion of rapidly hardening foam.
The 'sponge bomb' can be especially effective in fights in tight tunnels.
However, some complications arose during its development - as a result of improper handling of chemical compounds, several Israeli soldiers lost their sight.
The army has not yet officially confirmed the use of these weapons in the current phase of fighting in the Gaza Strip.
Another technical innovation that could potentially increase the effectiveness of the Israeli ground invasion in the Hamas-controlled enclave is
IRIS robot -
a small and light, remotely controlled robot.
'Throwbot' is equipped with a 360-degree spherical camera with built-in night vision.
It can provide real-time intelligence information about traps or ambushes set up in Hamas' many kilometers of tunnels.

Another 'micro-tactical land robot' from Israel is the stair-climbing MTGR -
particularly beneficial in urban or underground combat environments.
Explosives can be attached to these robots and activated when an enemy approaches.
Hyperspectral sensors may also be necessary for fighting in tunnels,
using the spectrum of electromagnetic waves to analyze and identify objects buried underground or under water.
The sensors use the principle of all materials leaving a unique trace in the electromagnetic spectrum, thanks to which
they are able to detect the presence of people, weapons or explosives.
The technology - outside the military sphere - is already used by geologists searching for oil fields and minerals, farmers tracking the development of crops, and ecologists searching for plastics underground.
A limitation in the use of sensors by Israeli troops is their inability to penetrate tunnels reinforced with metal or concrete."
