Whatever the "shoulds," there is now no way that Israel will ever allow Palestine to be a normal state so long as Hamas exists as a politically viable entity within it. Normal states have a security apparatus and a military. There is no scenario in which Israel will allow a military that might be controlled by Hamas in either the West Bank or Gaza.

It is possible that Hamas was the proverbial dog that caught the car, here. This is Israel's 9/11 and Iran Hostage Crisis, rolled up into one big traumatic ball.

This. I view this as a Pearl Harbor event for Hamas: Might make them feel good in the short term but a disaster of a strategic move.
