If Israeli politicians and military leaders are aware of only one fact its most likely this: surrounded by countries that hate you its probably best not to alienate you other friends to much. Without US and European support Israel never comes into existence, without continued support it will be overrun by their enemies. If Israel thinks its international support is waning to much then moves like this may gain more than enough in political currency to outweigh the military drawbacks. Think how it plays in the London newspapers when one of those 178 is caught in a new terror plot, think of the latitude it gives them to make moves in the future against such terroists.
