Hamas targeted the monitoring post and killed the monitors. That was the plan, they had humintel on it. Apparently Israeli security wasn't harsh enough.

After that it was just a fence.

Go around the fence because the missile defense system either doesn't bother with airborne targets close the border or because the profile was wrong and you can be a chaos agent.

As for everything since then, Hamas went on record *last* weekend saying "we won."
