Probably has more to do with proximity than anything else.

Yeah, that seems likely. It's less than a mile from Gaza, I never heard of it until now but given its location I'd be shocked if it was completely unscathed in this sort of event.

That's because the news of what happening in the small Kibbutzim around Gaza hasn't hit the news cycle yet. Massacre

Will this significantly help the Pro-Israel narrative in the west?

I hope all the Republicans against aid to Ukraine also take a similar stand against aid to the apartheid state of Israel.

It'll significantly help Bibi (R-Israel), like most things Hamas does.

They're rejoicing in Gaza today. Tomorrow it will be bloodshed.

Even the fringes of the radical left like myself demand retribution.

Yeah, definitely has to be related to that. Some sort of "sending a message of revenge" etc etc stuff.

My question is, why didn't Israel's vaunted intelligence agencies see this coming?

It's very similar to the Tet Offensive so far and I suspect the end result-VC/Hamas ceasing to be an effective fighting force-will be the same.

If they did the terrorists wouldn't be massacring people left and right along the border

Awful news, Israel and its people have my full sympathy right now. This alarmingly looks more serious than the previous recent wars there, I also fear what the consequences might be.

Horrific. A fitting response is required. The terrorist snake's nest needs to go. Stay safe, Hnv1 and Parrotguy.

Invasion of Gaza?

(honestly we've gotten to the point that 'liberation' would be a more appropriate word, especially from the POV of ordinary Gazans)

The Tet Offensive didn’t work out for the VC at the time but the demoralisation played a role in ending the US occupation. I don’t see why this would happen here.
