Eli Cohen, the film's director, was serving his reserve duty in the IDF Spokesperson's Unit at the time. Cohen had a conversation with an officer in the unit, Yaacov Even, during which Even brought up his concern over the morale of soldiers in the area.

The film was shot at Al-Khiyam during the last stages of the IDF's withdrawal from the country in 1985. During filming, the cast of the film underwent training to enhance the realism of the film. Residents of the village participated in the film as uncredited extras. Soldiers from the Golani Brigade were also present at the film's shooting for security purposes.

The film's soundtrack was composed by Beni Nagari and includes the theme song of the film "Shtei Etzbaot MiTzidon", with lyrics written by Cohen himself (under the pseudonym of Eli Madursky), performed in the film by Boaz Ofri. The lyrics were based on a letter that a soldier named Mickey Berkovich wrote to Cohen in January 1985.
