Definitely not saying that they planned it, but that the relationship between Russia and Hamas, enabled by Iran, might had a role in enabling them to happen. My point comes mostly from here:

(something tells me you didn't go through my links ;) )

In any case.. what do I know?

I think you don't know why Palestinians fight. There's a reason it was named Al-Aqsa Flood https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/4/israeli-settlers-storm-al-aqsa-mosque-complex-on-fifth-day-of-sukkot and it isn't the first time Hamas responds to Israel desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Blaming Iran or Russia for Hamas' actions proves you are high on US propaganda.
