I've read some serious commentary from commentators I respect who seem to indicate the IDF never amassed the forces required to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, only to move from one part to another part, basically. From watching the news this seems to have been the case to me, but I really don't know (nor understand their force structure/options to amass more manpower).

Are they building up more substantial forces this time to actually occupy the whole thing?
