Hmm.. I feel compelled to play devil's advocate, from this perspective we will use the hypothetical position of Hamas on October 7th, 2023. Hypothetically imagine you are born into an open air prison that you cannot vote your way out of or do you have any effective way of gaining the world's attention other than by provoking a response from Israel, obviously this position if intentional would be psychopathic but TODAY nearly five months after commiting a heinous act of terrorism and losing literally untold number of your fellow Palestinians, you have won the optics war by provoking a bigger threat into action in a day and age where everything is recorded. It could be argued that what Hamas' did on October 7th will lead to the downfall of Israel simply because they lack restraint and Hamas knew that thus using terrorism to potentially destroy one of the most powerful if not the most powerful countries in the world. I don't agree with what Hamas' did just playing Devil's advocate
It doesn't, actually. That's your opinion.
Let me rephrase, There is zero reason for a sane person or group to carry out large scale terror, only the state benefits, every time.

This is possible, but it was most likely carried out by Israel since they created and funded Hamas.
Israel would have no justification to take over the whole area if there was no "terrorist" threat against them.
In 5 years everyone will forget the atrocities committed by Israel and they will occupy 20% more land than they did before.
That has no foundation in reality, they've been taking Gaza inch by inch for years.
