This definitely looks like a well pre planned operation to wipe out Hizb and its top leadership from the valley. Now, I think we should focus on blaming ISIS for secretly providing us info. Further the divide among the the two factions..

Looks more like entrapment. They were lured and at right time executed.

Could be a meeting point planning something big otherwise you don't see so many jihadis at one place to avoid getting slaughtered in batch.

Forces maybe waiting from months for this moment, tracking some of them, listening to them and letting them live till this moment.

What's the news now, 4-5 more trapped ? other than the 11 already killed ? Looks like the local terrorists were lured into a false sense of security. As you said, later on lured and slaughtered.
