I wonder what was Hamas' plan to carry out the attack. I'm sure they fully expected Israel to go all out against the Palestinian people, but they probably misjudged how much Israel would care about or be held back by the international reaction. I guess bibi realized that, since none of the western leaders actually cares, he's free to raze everything (like the preemptive attacks on the new Syrian govt)

Previously there had been prisoner swaps. They also wanted to stop Saudi normalisation under the Abraham accords. There is some speculation that Netanyahu turned a blind eye to reports of the attack in the hope of using it as a pretext to carry out the genocide.
