Did the IDF use armored personnel carriers as “walking bombs” during the Gaza War?

In a video for Al Jazeera (at 6:16), Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda explained that the IDF was able to cause massive destruction by stuffing armored personnel carriers (APCs) with bombs and using them to blow up large areas of land. She said that 10–15 were used for this purpose daily for a period of two months.

To a layman like me, this seems incredibly wasteful for an army. Even if we consider the lower end of her estimate, 10 per day for 1.5 months, that amounts to 450 blown up APCs. On the other hand, this is a reputable journalist and probably wouldn’t say something without any sources.

So, is the claim true?
