Do you have any legit source to support that claim ?
It's really surprising indeed that they were not aware of the attack and that they could not defend their settlements. But that could also be explained by thinking themselves untouchable, leading now to an overreaction to hide their responsibility in this failure to protect their citizens.
There's plenty of circumstantial evidence to support this. Somehow Israel, which has one of the best spy programs on the globe, completely missed any and all planning of Hamas forces to... drive a tractor into a fence for several hours.... but they're perfectly capable of coming up with calls from Hamas militants after the fact. And their utterly superior military force was somehow unable to stop this supposed massacre for hours after it had begun? There's being drunk on kool-aid and then there's snorting the powder straight out of the package. And Hamas, which launched 36K projectiles from 2001 to 2023 at Israel and managed to kill less than 100 people, magically was able to kill 1400 people in no time flat, and just trust them because they're Israel. Hamas is able to list the names and ages and localities of every single person that Israel slaughters, but Israel somehow doesn't have the advanced capabilities to do the same.
It's an awful funny coincidence that Netanyahu, who had been under political and prosecutorial pressure, suddenly and magically found himself a new conflict to embroil himself in so that he could take additional powers for himself.
I don't think there is a legit source to support that claim. But, there is some precedent, the Israeli hawks need Hamas as much as Hamas needs them and in the past they have actually propped up Hamas because they couldn't stomach the likes of Abbas who might be able to successfully establish a Palestinian state. This whole conflict is kept alive by stupidity like that (and the continued settlement program, which is effectively an unofficial way to keep expanding Israel without directly being as accountable).
