Well the timing appears to coincide with what's known as the holiday of "Simchat Torah". I don't know all the specifics of the holiday but apparently no work or travel is permitted on this day. But of course that's only part of the reason, there's definitely more to the "why now".
But I think it's important to point out that this wasn't just an attack. It was essentially a "declaration" of war. Hamas has apparently claimed they're prepared to go all in on this incursion.
