CNN: Gaza Strip

What was Hamas hoping to achieve with their gruesome blitz into Israel?  They did demonstrate their ability to plan and execute a massive strike.  Hamas was media savvy enough to broadcast their atrocities.

Israel may feel free to evacuate and slag the narrow strip of beach front property.  What’s to stop them?  The actions of Hamas were so brutal, it will take weeks for international supporters of the Palestinians to gain any traction.  The UN has been condemning Israel for decades, so the UN is irrelevant.  President Trump convinced the wealthy Arab countries to sign the Abraham Accords, so they won’t see a reason to intervene.

By the time any support for Hamas builds, Israel will have resolved the problem.
