Good news is rare. I hope this was the result of better intelligence on the whereabouts of the Hamas leadership rather than luck.
I pasted this in response to the wrong comment, so here it is again for you:
They wouldn't exactly admit a source and compromise further operations. They probably had at least an idea of where he might be.
OBL hid in a personal mansion for 10 years only 100 miles away from Pakistan Military Academy
Mullah Omar hid in a tunnel only 3 miles away from Base Wolverine lol.
I think it was probably a bit of both. They knew he was in the north, but not much more. I presume their intel gathering fell apart after the infrastructure collapsed.
He was just walking around on the surface? Why?
Edit: Kyrgizion makes a good point.
If you kill everyone in Gaza, you'll eventually kill the right person.
Human shields can only get you so far
