During the invasion of Palestinian cities in the spring of 2002, Israeli soldiers implemented an unprecedented tactic: instead of moving through the streets, they went from house to house, opening holes in walls and floors. In this way, they avoided becoming targets of Palestinian guerrillas, who had booby-trapped the roads and trapped the entrances of buildings. This method of the Israelis, known as "inverse geometry," represents a postmodern turn in urban warfare.
For years, generals who had delved into the work of Deléuze and Guattari, Debord and Tschumi, transformed the Occupied Territories into a laboratory where new methods of "smart destruction" of the built environment and population control were tested. At the same time, transmission theory is taught in research centers of the Israeli army, where military personnel study the art of building and destroying using pseudo-philosophical concepts. However, these practices were not unknown to the guerrillas who successfully faced the invasion of the Israeli army in Lebanon in 2006
