One answer is these media efforts. Isreal works hard to draw attention to its conflicts, and to try to turn that attention into support.

I'd note the Ukranians worked very hard to draw attention to their war as well, and they were quite successful at that.

Think of it the other way around - the only real weapon Hamas has against the much stronger Israel is shifting public opinion, so it's in their incentive to bring as much negative attention as possible to Israel in the conflict

No. Israel would like nothing more than to not be the center of attention every time it's attacked and tries to defend itself.

As mentioned in the article, they are paying for social media ad campaigns. That is not the behavior of people wanting to avoid attention.

That's a bit naïve. The other side is going full throttle, including through ivy league presidents, the New York Times, and the BBC. Of course they're going to try to fight back.
