No, "false flag" is overused. These were not Israelis dressed up as Palestinians. They were real Hamas fighters out to kill Israelis. This is what you call a gambit. Israeli intelligence uses spys to get Hamas to think there is a golden opportunity to set up an attack, then let them carry it out. The defensive response is intentionally botched to gain maximum effect. Hamas got suckered in. Israel now has an excuse to clean out Gaza. Let's hope the American public doesn't get suckered into another Middle East war.
