- During the last day, the intelligence information about the whereabouts of Muhammad Deif was received. That is, less than a day passed between the information that arrived - and the execution. 

- According to the estimates, Deif did not stay for a long period of time in the compound where he was attacked, therefore in Israel they realized that the window of time to carry out the operation was short.

- The Air Force dropped 8 heavy bombs of the J-DAM type (a bomb known in the Air Force as "heavy hail") on the compound in Khan Yunis.
