Hamas' end game??
While the average Hamas foot soldier is a brainwashed religious zealot, the Hamas leadership knows they can't beat Israel and in the end it's just going to mean more of their soldiers dead, more Palestinians dead as collateral and Israel tightening control around Gaza even more. So what gives in invading on this scale?
Gut instinct tells me this is to raise the price of oil, and it has already. Saudi Arabia and Russia are the top two exporters and are reaping in the benefits right now. This war in Israel helps Putin fund his own war.
