    It’s not working though. Israel has massive support. Gaza is in ruins. Israel have the excuse and political capital to spend to completely remove Gaza from the map. If I lived in Gaza I would be disgusted with the irresponsible and atrocious actions of Hamas.

      Definitely. But information was imperfect too, maybe Hamas thought Israel’s recent political turmoil over trying to weaken the judicial branch. But still a horrible action and probably a massive blunder on Hamas’ part.

        it’s possible they really did not expect to penetrate so far inside Israel.

        Potentially Israel also had prior warning from Egypt.
