There've been several attacks on worshippers at the al-Aqsa mosque this year. The goal is to keep attacking to get a response from the other side (Moshe Dayan revealed this was formal government strategy). The latest attack on the mosque was just a few weeks ago. It remains to be seen whether Israeli officials thought Hamas could pull off an attack of this magnitude with 1,0000 fighters. Both sides have set a trap for the other. "In the years that followed, the Israelis recognized that short, sharp military actions would be used to ignite crises that would distract international attention from Israeli stonewalling, or permit a steady outward creep of Israel's frontiers. Moshe Dayan admitted as much. Coveting the Golan Heights before they were actually seized in the 1967 Six Day War, Dayan noted that "we'd send a tractor to plow some place in the demilitarized zone...and we knew ahead of time that the Syrians would shoot. If they didn't shoot, we'd tell the tractor to move deeper, until the Syrians fired on it. And then we'd activate artillery and the air force. We thought, 'we can change the armistice lines by a series of operations that are less than war.'" Always claiming to be a "status quo state," Israel was actually an expansionist one." source: historynewsnetwork.org
