Netanyahu to leave his post after conflict with Hamas, Hersh's source in Israel says
According to Hersh, "the attack by Hamas was a direct result" of Netanyahu's decision to allow the traditional Jewish holiday of Sukkot to be celebrated in the West Bank, despite protests from the military leadership
So Basically. Netanyahu against all common sense and advice from his Military Commanders. Allowed what I’m presuming were the ultra Orthodox super religious Jews to celebrate a Holiday not previously allowed. Probably to avoid the response it provoked.
