I think Hamas was banking on a completely whacko reaction from Netanyahu. They watched the demonstrations against him in Israel and probably wanted to tighten the screw a little more. Unfortunately Netanyahu did as they expected him to do and now Israel is fast losing its credibility and international support. Netanyahu will probably go the same way as Slobodan Milosovic and be hauled off to the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

By the way, any Lebanese who was in Lebanon in '82 and '06 will tell you that everything Israel has done since October was predictable.

Completely agree.
Apart from the bit about Netanyahu being held to account for his actions. He might go to prison for corruption (ie stealing money) no way will he be held to account for the thousands of dead children in Gaza though.

AFTER (Various news agencies, AP, Al Jazeera, Reuters, etc - do your own searches):
Hamas senior leader Ismail Haniyeh, commenting on the loss of civilian life in Gaza: “The blood of the women, children and elderly […] we are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit.”

Clearly they don't want aid brought in:
Al-Hayya threatened that Hamas would attack Israeli or other forces who might be stationed around a floating pier the U.S. is scrambling to build along Gaza’s coastline to deliver aid by sea.

In an interview Al-Hayya said:
Hamas does not regret the Oct. 7 attacks, despite the destruction it has brought down on Gaza and its people.

AND:
Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas's political bureau, praised the brutal attack the group carried out in Israel on October 7 and said if given the opportunity, they would carry out similar assaults repeatedly in the future with the goal of eliminating Israel.

Here is a fairly detailed report of what Al-Haya said and the context:

Here are the first three paragraphs:

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

The comments by Khalil al-Hayya in an interview Wednesday came amid a stalemate in months of talks for a cease-fire in Gaza. The suggestion that Hamas would disarm appeared to be a significant concession by the militant group officially committed to Israel’s destruction.

But it’s unlikely Israel would consider such a scenario. It has vowed to crush Hamas following the deadly Oct. 7 attacks that triggered the war, and its current leadership is adamantly opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state on lands Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war.

Bullshit.

I wouldn't believe that for a minute. They've said repeatedly they are dedicated to the total destruction of Israel.
