4 major reasons:

1) Palestinian groups this time were much better trained, armed and prepared. They got ATGMs, tandem grenade launchers, 12.7 mm sniper rifles, over 30 "offensive" tunnels (which lead to Israel) and many more "defensive" tunnels (which are built inside Gaza to attack incoming IDF troops), huge number of 120-mm mortars. They lacked all of it during the Cast Lead (they had some mortars, but mostly homemade and in small numbers). Fortunately Trophy neutralized the ATGMs vs tanks otherwise number of casualties would be even higher.

2) Cast Lead came as surprise to them. They were in total shock for over a week. Current operation was on contrary initiated by Hamas and they specifically prepared based on Cast Lead lessons.

3) During the Cast Lead IDF attacked from sides, in weakest parts of their defence. This time IDF attacked frontally Shujaiya which was their most protected area.

4) The operation itself was much longer (51 days instead of 22 days).
