    Middle management is probably not having fun but the higher leaders of Hamas got exactly what they wanted.

      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’.

        the plan ended at provoke Israel into overreacting imo

        israel ethnically cleansing gaza is a win in hamas’ book, not a loss

          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!
