Continuity mistake: When the terrorist is exiting to the balcony, there is the live shot for the viewing audience, and a shot from the television. However, for a moment, it appears that in the TV shot, the man has moved ahead of the live audience shot. Which is not possible. (00:04:51)

Trivia: In this film, the word 'Sabra' is used a few times. Sabra means a Jewish person who was actually born in Israel, and not one born in another country who then later moved to the Holy Land.

Question: Why would Ephrain not break bread with Avnar at the end of the film?

Answer: Avner had refused Ephraim's request that he return to Israel and Mossad. When Avner invited Ephraim to dinner to break bread, it was a symbolic gesture to make peace between them. Ephraim's refusal indicates they will never reconcile their differences.
