Yes ago, when AL QAEDA, a terrorist group led by the late Osama Bin Laden struck America using airplanes and killed thousands of innocent people, "revenge strikes were delayed."
The USA did not seek revenge at once, this was because "the had to gather information and knowledge about the enemy first."
The defense ministry at that time said;
There is nothing more important in this war than information, by whatever means we collect it. Use of military force is secondary ; and begins with getting good intelligence report about the people responsible, where they are and going after them and getting them running.
Collect information about your enemies first before striking. That means "action is secondary to knowledge."
Receive my instructions and not silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold.
proverbs 8:10
Get information about whatsoever action you want to take and success is assured. No information, no action.
