The thing though, the Palestinian territories are densely populated... The Gaza Strip in particular is said to be the most densely populated place in the world right now. The IDF is "walking through walls" in a way because there is almost nowhere else to go. But it's more than that...
As for the alleys, I think military forces can already dominate there; what they do by walking through walls is reconfigure the battlefield to introduce the unexpected, reappropriate the expected battlefield configuration that the resistance knows and make it their own.

This is the real shock and awe for me...
