'Nightmare Scenario': Hamas’ Victory Is an Israeli Failure on a Massive Scale - Israel News - Haaretz.com

Analysis | 'Nightmare Scenario': Hamas’ Victory Is an Israeli Failure on a Massive ScaleThere was apparently no intelligence for Saturday’s shock attack from the Gaza Strip, but there were preliminary signs. Now Israel is likely to respond with great force, and the possibility of a ground maneuver and occupation of the Strip cannot be ruled out. The eruption of a multi-arena campaign is also possible

The State of Israel has been at war since Saturday morning. Hamas initiated an effective, sudden attack that caught the Israeli intelligence organizations completely by surprise and shattered the operational defense doctrine on the Gaza Strip border.

Bottom line outsized arrogance.
IMHO well planned attack by the Russians, in response to the delivery of munitions and probably tanks to Ukraine, via 3rd country, but this is just a guess.
