Did they really or you're just speculating?

Let’s start with the Hamas attacks. Russia has long courted the Islamist militants, and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and other officials have made recent trips to Moscow. After Saturday’s assaults, the Russians were quick to dust off old plans to pull Israel’s borders back to where they were in 1967. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the creation of a Palestinian state was being thwarted by the “destructive policy” of the U.S., and you could almost hear the purr of satisfaction when a gloating former President Dmitry Medvedev dismissed the Hamas attacks as “an expected development” and turned his ire against the West.

The two that will gain the most from the Hamas attack are Netanyahu, and Putin. Netanyahu because of his most recent power grab, and Putin as the world turns eyes away from Ukraine. Netanyahu can continue to consolidate power now that Israel is "at war," and Putin can ramp up his war crime shennanigans in Ukraine.
