#1 Israel has gradually increased its cache of human intelligence as the war goes on, including by interrogating detained Hamas operatives and scouring documents and digital files discovered during ongoing operations in the Strip.
Intelligence gleaned from such sources was used in Saturday’s hostage rescue operation, as well as in previous operations to recover bodies of hostages, the Post reported.

A process commonly referred to as 'All-Source Fusion' which can include:

2. Human intelligence (HUMINT) reporting.
3. Document Exploitation (DOCEX)
4. Signals
6. Imagery
