    What exactly was the strategy? Provoke Israel into overreacting and then hope every other country in the region would be forced to step in?

    In marketing we get told ‘hope is not a strategy’.

        It has been happening and it was going to continue happening. Didn’t Israel just annex more West Bank?

        Hamas chose now for whatever reason. The only real beneficiary here is the Russian Federation and their war crimes in Ukraine.

      I don’t claim to know what their ultimate strategy is but it would seem that

      Provoke Israel into overreacting

      is a central part of it. And that part worked.

      But I guess the plan could be

      1. Provoke Israel
      2. ???
      3. Paradise!
