The other thing I think this does, when you view it geopolitically, is see Hamas and through them, the Palestinian people as a simple piece on the chessboard in the broader Iran vs Everyone conflict in the region. Which we all kind of knew was going on, but this punctuates the fuck out of it. Iran needs/wants chaos so badly that they just sold the Palestinians up the river (because man is the Israeli response going forward going to fucking suck, this isn't going to stop with this initial military response). All because the Iranians didn't want normalized Saudi/Israeli relations, the Saudi's to get more modern US military hardware as part of the deal, etc.
I really hope that Iran has overplayed their hand here and the US starts taking a bit more of a direct interest in countering obvious Iranian alignment with Russia in Ukraine and terrorist groups in the middle east.
