Russia is clearly behind this. No ally of HAMAS except of Russia has experience of using bomb-dropping drones against modern battle tanks. Only Russia could train HAMAS in this:
In 2022-23, leaders of HAMAS visited Moscow at least three times, meeting Russia's FM Lavrov and a Chechen dictator and a terrorist Kadyrov, openly speaking that they discussed "a new world order" with Moscow, as well as "weakening Zionist tumour and reshaping the West".
Vladimir Putin repeatedly delivered extreme antisemitic commentaries this year, joining harsh antisemitic expressions by Lavrov, fully in decades-long tradition of Moscow (read the whole tread under the link):

Some more thoughts and why I think that Hamas is just a pawn in this game, and the planner is Russia:
1) The level of Hamas attack is unprecedented. It is huge, and it humiliating and shocking. It is not like kidnapping an IDF solder to trade him for prisoners;

2) It is clear that Hamas will not be able to keep control over any area. They will be pushed back. And the retaliation will be severe
3) The retaliation: you do not mutilate bodies of Israeli women and gun down Israeli children, everything on camera, hoping to get away with that

3.1.) It is clear, that the retaliation will be HUGE. Probably no attackers and direct commanders will survive it. Are they insane? Did they planned this part too? I don't think so. Hamas knew perfectly how to balance between violence and getting EU funds. This is different.
4) So the first idea is: this attack was deliberately planned NOT BY Hamas, but by a greater power, which has no interest in Hamas, but which is willing to see Gaza Stripe retaliation, and so trigger anti-Israeli and anti-US ideas worldwide.
5) I do not know what happens next, but a possible future attack on a US embassy or another US soft target would have impact on the US elections. Just remember the Tripoli case.
6) Effectively, ANY escalation plays into Putin's hands, distracting the West and reducing our chances to develop a solid strategy. Instead of acting strategically, we react tactically. Nothing good in this but good for Kremlin. That is why I think it is Russia behind this attack
