In this day and age of omniscient surveillance, to think that the Israeli intelligence agencies didn't know this attack was coming days, weeks, in advance, beggars belief. Now just to identify who benefits:

1. • embattled Netanyahu, who gets a "wartime leader" boost
2. • US Democrats, who get a year of increasing muslim terror scares to justify suspending 2024 elections, or at least in-person voting
3. • European countries, who get to import even more middle eastern animals displaced by the widening fighting
4. • WEF, if a "population reducing" regional or global nuclear exchange is the eventual result.

Regardless, this was no surprise attack.
