Their decision had nothing to do with US weakness, because at no point did they expect their attack to be successful enough to garner an Israeli response beyond the resources presently available to the Israelis.

Not correct. They would have had to have known there would have been a battlefront for public opinion. Biden's weakness is helping them win it.

Hamas planned a significant attack, but one that they expected would be far more limited than it turned out to be.

Not sure how you can say that; they specifically targeted a music festival they knew would have thousands of attendees right across the border. They planned in advance to massacre whomever they could find in the kibbutzes that were near the border. In short, they planned to kill thousands.
