Probably not murder as many civilians as possible, in a way that's obviously bound to provoke even more violence from the overwhelming force you're up against.

Osama bin Laden killed several thousand Americans for exactly that purpose - but that's the thing, having America burn a trillion dollars on an unwinnable was was his goal. In some sense he got everything he wanted, plus a bullet to the skull. The situation in the West Bank does not seem to be doing any favors for Hamas or Palestine.

Probably making Iran quite happy though.
