In Episode 5, A Beautiful Operation, Burns and Baker continue to analyze the suicide bombings and attacks Hamas employed against Israel in 1995 in an attempt to derail the Oslo Accords. They further delve into the reactions of some of the members of the US-based infrastructure, particularly leaders of the Holy Land Foundation, who referred to the double suicide bombing as a "beautiful operation." Burns and Baker also focus on how, in 1995, the US government acknowledged that Hamas' violence was undermining efforts to achieve peace in the region, and the Clinton administration designated Hamas and its Political Bureau Chief Mousa Abu Marzook as Specially Designated Terrorists (SDTs).
