Hamas launched its largest ever attack on Israel, killing hundreds of civilians and taking others hostage, breaching the border defenses that surround the Gaza strip. The stunning assault, already bring compared to Pearl Harbor, caught the Israelis by surprise; the militants even knocked out tanks with small drones.

Again, the video suggests that the Zawaris were launched simultaneously in an attempt to overwhelm the capacity of the defenses, increasing the chance that some would get through. The new drone may incorporate other lessons learned from probing Iron Dome with earlier drones, such as the most successful flight pattern.
The Russians have used the Lancet, which has a range of over 25 miles and an eleven-pound warhead, with some, artillery and radar. The Zawari's guidance system is not known but is likely to be pre-programmed with the targets GPS co-ordinates and used against fixed sites. These may have been high-value targets like military barracks and command centers to hamper response – or they may simply have been launched at civilian targets to cause as much damage and terror as possible.
After their initial surprise attack, Hamas are on the defensive and are likely to suffer extremely heavy losses against the far more powerful IDF. They have likely exhausted their stocks or rockets and kamikaze drones and will not be able to carry out a sustained campaign. But the shock at just how much damage they could do against a supposedly prepared force will lead to many questions for a long time to come.
