And pray tell, what is the "strategic intentionality" of the IDF attacking
the PA HQ and not that of HAMAS? What is the logic behind the action?

Same old: to reinforce the argument there's no one to talk to. Nobody 
expects them to talk to Hamas. The Israelis have always argued that 
there's no possiblity of compromise because the arabs want to throw 
them into the sea. In order for them to maintain this stance it is 
actually more important to get rid of the possible collaborators than 
it is to get rid of the more radical Hamas.
