That the exact location of where rockets land was always treated as sensitive information everywhere to make it hard for the other side to adjust their targeting? During WW2 the British government went as far as coordinate fake news about where the V2 rockets landed with the media to make it harder for the Germans to hit anything.

I'm missing a piece, how does knowing the exact impact coordinate help other side?

Because it's feedback on how effective their targeting has been when confronted with whatever electronic warfare and misdirection Israel was using to defend themselves.

That sort of information might let the attacker make adjustments to be more accurate next time
