Strategic plan and caution of attack

This attack did not happen suddenly. According to the Wall Street Journal report, a meeting of senior Hamas leaders was reported to be held, the aim was to discuss the release of the ceasefire and the hostages. As soon as the IDF received information that there is no hostage at that place, the attack got the green signal. The Israeli army said that before this attack, they had taken extensive intelligence measures so that the citizens suffer the least loss.
