#1 Actually when the leader of a group like Islamic Jihad is badly injured, it is a major burden for that group - in some ways a bigger loss than if the person was killed.

For one thing, the terrorist group has to assign some of their forces to bodyguard both the person and the place they are treated (whereas if the person is in good health the second of these bodyguard teams can be deployed elsewhere).

For another thing, the injured terrorist may mumble stuff to the medical people treating him and this can be converted into actionable intel since Israel probably has a number of agents placed in paleo medical facilities.
