Why did the Hamas Attack happen now?
No one is really discussing what sparked this attack by Hamas. This latest attack was called the "al-Aqsa Flood" by Hamas.
This is because the reason given for its timing is Israel allowing "Jewish groups to desecrate al-Aqsa Mosque”.

Recently, the Israeli government has begun to support extremist Jewish groups attacking and expelling Muslims and Christians from their holy sites.
Extremist Jewish groups like the Temple Institute believe it is necessary to build the third temple on the site of the Aqsa mosque to bring about the Jewish messiah (which many Christians think will be the antichrist).
These Jewish groups have been trying to breed a "blemish free" red cow to fulfil prophecy and bring about the end times, even using advanced embryo selection technology to try and breed this sacrificial cow.
Recently, in a further escalation against Muslims and Christians they have been sprinkling heifer's blood on the site.

This year and especially in recent weeks, this antagonism against Muslims and Christians has massively accelerated. Christian churches have been attacked with statues of Jesus desecrated, as Jewish settlers believe they must destroy all religious idols in the land to fulfil prophecy.
Over the summer, Jewish settlers occupied and attempted to seize by force Christian churches in Israel. It has also become common for these settlers to spit on and abuse Christians in the vicinity of the holy site, as recent, widely shared footage on social media has demonstrated.

Days ago, dozens of settlers stormed the Aqsa mosque to perform "Talmudic rituals". Israeli forces these religious extremists, expelling Palestinian worshippers from their most sacred holy site.

This is all extremely relevant context that has been left out of this discussion as the whole focus becomes individual instances of violence. The ultranationalist Israeli government has been supporting the antagonism of extremist Jewish groups against Muslim and Christians in the Holy Land for years, and this continues to accelerate.
It's impossible to have an informed discussion about this conflict while ignoring this.

Iran War & Fuel Rationing – are “Energy Lockdowns” on the way?
The war in Iran is having the impact that most people with any sense knew it would have: The price of oil is going up, and the supply of oil is going down.
Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and it’s beside the point. Oil companies will natural take the slightest excuse to price gouge and contrive scarcity for the basest of profit motives.
It also serves a political motive as well, since we know the global political machinery is –

That means that of the 2.1mn tonnes of urea — the world’s most widely used nitrogen fertiliser — that would normally have been loaded for export over the past two weeks, about half has been disrupted.
At the same time, more than 1.1mn tonnes of fertiliser and fertiliser inputs, including 570,000 tonnes of urea, is currently stuck in the Gulf, either being loaded or already on ships, according to Kpler data.
Nitrogen fertilisers, which underpin about half of global food production, are made from ammonia using natural gas, which has soared in price since the war began last month.
The shortages have begun during the northern hemisphere’s planting season, leading industry executives to warn of lower harvests for staples such as rice.
If the disruption continues, “this will be much worse than 2022”, said Veronica Nigh, senior economist at The Fertilizer Institute, a US-based trade group. “The longer the conflict goes on, the more dire the situation will become.”
