US Army new doctrine cites Gaza urban warfare lessons from Israel's campaign...

The US Army has released new operational warfighting guidance titled "How the Army Fights," set for October 2026. The document draws explicit lessons from Israel's operations in Gaza following the October 2023 Hamas attack, along with other urban battles such as Fallujah.

It notes that advanced sensors and precision strikes alone proved insufficient against entrenched subterranean networks, requiring deliberate combined arms maneuver to clear and secure terrain.
