Last month, there were indications that Israel was planning to respond to the increase in terror attacks with a return to targeted killings of the leaders of terror groups.

During a Cabinet meeting, Benjamin Netanyahu called on his ministers to avoid public talk about the option of returning to a policy of assassinations,  Israel’s Channel 12 reported.  This came as Israel was concerned that its deterrence policies were eroding, after the Hezbollah roadside bomb attack in northern Israel and an increased number of shooting attacks on Israeli civilians. 

Channel 12 reported that the Cabinet deliberated on reactivating the policy of assassinations, even if it led to a new round of fighting with the Gaza Strip.

Because of those reports, Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders went underground.

Palestinian media is now reporting that the three Islamic Jihad leaders targeted overnight were all planning to take a trip together to Cairo today. 
Well-informed Palestinian sources revealed, at dawn on Tuesday, that the leaders of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, who were assassinated at dawn by the Israeli army, were preparing to travel, accompanied by a delegation from the movement's political bureau, out of the Gaza Strip.

The sources told Al-Quds that the assassination of the Jihad leaders took place at a time when members of the political bureau of the movement were going to Cairo and from abroad to hold internal and external meetings.

According to the sources, the leaders of the brigades who were assassinated were going with the delegation of the Islamic Jihad leaders to Egypt, which informed them yesterday that they could travel from Cairo to abroad.

The sources indicated that the leaders of the brigades had been hiding for a while, and after receiving permission to prepare for travel, they went to their families to say goodbye before they were targeted inside their homes at dawn.

 Notice that the three terror leaders were using Islamic Jihad's "political" wing as cover for their travels. Islamic Jihad clearly doesn't distinguish between their "political" and "military" wings, but Israel only targeted the heads of the Al Quds Brigades, not Islamic Jihad as a whole. 

This story also indicates that the three were planning something together - something big enough to necessitate travel abroad.

Also notable is that Egypt doesn't seem to have any problem facilitating the travel of major terror leaders.

Sometimes, timing is simply waiting for the best opportunity.
