nalyst: Israel’s costly misunderstanding of Hamas’ true aims Peter Bergen Opinion by Peter Bergen Bergen: Why did Hamas launch this attack now? Michael: What was the strategic aim of such an operation, considering that they knew for sure that the price tag would be very high and they were endangering their very existence? I’m sure that Hamas was sure that the shock and horror of this operation and the casualties that they would cause would be interpreted by all the Palestinians, that this was a sign from God that this was the time to open all the battlefronts and to fight Israel and this will be the end of the state of Israel. They were sure about it. This attack last weekend was not intended to release Hamas prisoners held in Israeli jails. The objective was much bigger, and I think this was to encourage the Palestinians in the West Bank and all over Israel to open other battlefronts against Israeli targets. Hamas succeeded much more than they believed they would succeed because this was a huge catastrophe. We lost so many people. Hamas, with their brutality, became what we saw as an upgraded ISIS. cnn.com Other militant groups also came into the battlefield when Hamas breached the barriers, shut down the border surveillance and drone operations, etc. Not exactly a sign from god. The week before the Gaza attack, the US announces Palestinian demands have been set aside which would marginalize Hamas.
