Cold Slap
I've no doubt that it's a cold slap against the Israeli Army, in particular, and a personal/professional challenge laid on their officer/NCO corps.
Fighting on your turf and somebody else's are two different things, even when you know your neighbor's locale like the back of your hand (and the IDF does).
The colonel is correct about regular forces. Short of Israeli army reserves making a miraculous comeback, this battle will again be a classic mid-intensity light infantry/armor mix in constricted terrain and built-up areas of the first order. That will take Israel's best and honed to perfection at that.
To do it right it'll need to be a multi-divisional or corps breach and include a significant air-assault envelopment component. Heavy-duty stuff that will take a max effort on clearly defined objectives and little hesitation allowed.
