And you don't think 'Hamas' would have anticipated what Israel's response and reaction might or was likely to be after their October 7th 'adventures' ?
Absolutely.
Hamas is an US/ Israeli intelligence services construct -- none of the political leadership live any where near Gaza or the west bank.
They performed the role they were created to play with aplomb.
Thats why they are untouched and in fact aided to maintain incognito The several thousand Hamas fighters in Gaza are dupes, is that not obvious to you ?
