The people who funded this, and likely planned most of it, don't actually live in Gaza. So they don't really care what happens to Gaza. The worse the retaliation, the easier it is to recruit future religious fanatic useful idiots.

Yes, it’s useless to expect some kind of rational political strategy on the part of the Palestinians here. The sponsors of the attacks have their own goals (the derailment of further rapprochement between Israel and the Arab world), but the ones on the ground doing the killing are simply fanatics who want to see monstrous numbers of deaths on both sides. They’re no different from ISIS or the murderers who shot up Paris and terrorized Mumbai - in their eyes, death is its own reward. God is great.
