Recent Israeli Conflict: Israel vs Gaza's Hamas again

A major event in the news these last few weeks is the reignited feud between the Gaza Strip’s Hamas and Israel. After launching multiple rockets into Israel, some of which had hit near major cities, Israel retaliated after multiple warnings to the Gaza Strip. Israel sent over a military unit to bomb parts of Gaza. The effects were devastating compared to the damage done to Israel. The Egyptian Prime Minister, Hesham Kandil, visited Gaza and cried for the wounded Gaza civilians, calling it an act of “Israeli aggression [that] must stop”. I have been listening to many opinions on this feud for the past week or so. Some suggested that there might be a conspiracy about the Arab countries surrounding Israel, as well as Egypt. The conspiracy is that Israel, after making multiple threats to go to war with Iran,  was supposed to be intentionally distracted by Egypt and  Gaza, so Iran can continue with their nuclear developments without dealing with Israeli threats. In this conspiracy, Iran hired Egypt and Gaza to do so. As it is only a conspiracy, I do not know if this is true. However, I believe there is certainly something going on between Iran, Egypt and Gaza.  Considering the leaders of Iran and Egypt and many of the people of Gaza  share an immense hatred for the existence of the Israeli state, it would not be surprising if they all worked in conjunction with each other.
