It is not an israeli plan. Basically hamas have chosen the wrong side in the syrian conflict, so it lost the support of iran and syria(and maybe saudi-arabia). He also lost the support of egypt due to the regime change. And he is in bad relations with fatah on the west bank.
All this put the hamas with very little political and monetary support and with inability to pay operatives. They are near collapse.
So how do hamas wants to get the support of the people of gaza? By creating a common enemy.
So they shoot missiles at israel, israel has no choice but to respond, political support of hamas increases and the cycle continues.

This appears to be a good analysis of the current situation - http://forward.com/articles/201764/how-politics-and-lies-tri...
It appears the politicians created the current war against the army's wishes, and that Hamas were actually keeping the peace on the ground
