A frequently asked question is how Israel managed to assassinate six senior Islamic Jihad leaders and military decision-makers before and during the battle. The first assassination, which included three senior leaders, came as a surprise and treacherous from the Zionist enemy.

Israel waited for their return to their homes after reaching a truce agreement and then knocked it on them and their families to ensure their assassination. The Al-Quds Brigades has succeeded in protecting its military, missile and human capabilities, despite the assassinations, and actually proved this with a missile strike on Tel Aviv.
