Summary
This document appears to be page 9 of a geopolitical intelligence report (likely Stratfor, commonly found in these files) analyzing the strategic situation in Israel and Gaza around August 2011. It discusses the political fallout of the Eilat road attacks, speculating that Hamas likely knew of the attacks despite denials, comparing the tactic to Fatah's use of Black September in the 70s. The analysis suggests Hamas aims to provoke an Israeli response to gain sympathy in Egypt and Europe.
