Did you see the Israeli method of getting their breaching and entry
teams up on the Palistinian Authority compound? Heavy APCs with doors in
the FRONT!

Suppress the enemy infantry. Move the APC up close to the building,
infantry deploy there where they're not easily attacked with the APCs
for cover and place their demo, take cover, demo and then enter. Having
some breaching mechanism on the APC's themselves OR on a support vehicle
would make it even smoother (which they may have done, I'm only
extrapolating from the sparse reports I heard).
