Someone posted this on Moon of Alabama site. It makes sense. Posting it here for your consideration.

"Isn't it funny how just as Israeli society is tearing itself apart and appeared close to civil war, this attack comes along and within hours Netanyahu's political opponents are forced into a coalition government to support him?

I take nothing away from the bravery of the Hamas soldiers who are fighting in this battle, but it is simply not credible that Hamas could have done this... The Gaza fence is in open country with little to conceal advancing Hamas units, and we are talking about hundreds of Hamas soldiers moving across the border. Where were all the IDF units who normally man and monitor this border fence? What happened to the surveillance of the border fence? What about the sensors? What happened to the vaunted IDF air defenses that were overwhelmed by Homemade hang gliders powered by lawn mower engines and box fans?

We are hearing rumors that Iran conducted a cyber attack that took down the electronic surveillance of the border fence, but did the Iranians also order the removal of IDF units that apparently left the Israeli border towns utterly defenseless? It seems much more likely that Netanyahu orchestrated this as an easy way to solve his political problems while also providing a pretext for the IDF to finish the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and perhaps the West Bank as well."
