There were (yes in past tense) so much faith in Mossad infallibility and IDF invincibility that there is a conspiracy theory that alleges Netanyahu deliberately allowed Hamas do their job on 8 Oct so as to have "more rope to hang"; However, there are a few factors that challenges this Theory...

1. The signed Abraham Accord to nomalise relation with Saudi and other Arab states...More for Israel to gain.
2. The Palestine issue is nearly forgotten since the start of Ukraine conflict....Why allow Hamas to succeed and grab attention when Israel can simply stop it without much attention ?

Clearly, Hamas intend is to stir Israel and forced the global focus back to the decades long Palestine issue - to that the Gaza authority has succeeded and understand the cost of it.

The more  Netanyahu scream for more blood in anger, the better it serve Hamas in terms of support from Arabs, Muslim and perhaps the larger Global South..

Already we hv seen fissue growing bigger between the West and the Rest since the start of the Ukraine war.

Actually they played right into Netanyahu’s hands. He was unpopular at home and the US also worried about him being too extremist, hellbent on exterminating Hamas.

This stupid ploy by Hamas has got his entire nation now solidly with him and US now totally is behind him

Master stroke.
