The next day, Rafi Eitan instructed everyone to meet at Maoz. In the living room of the apartment, the agents ran through everything they had learned. It was clear from all their surveillance that they should capture Eichmann on his walk home. They discussed the numerous possible variations of carrying out the abduction and agreed that they should get him as soon as he turned onto Garibaldi Street, away from any passing traffic. As for the date of the operation, they had all heard that the El Al flight was not due now until May 19

A “run through” is practicing a sequence of events.
“Passing traffic” is the cars and trucks going by.
“Flight was not due” means “flight was not scheduled” or “flight was not expected.”

"run through" in this context means "to go over" or to "revise" what they knew up to that point.
"passing traffic" refers to the vehicles passing on the streets.
"due" is used here as a synonym for "scheduled" or "planned".
