Hamas released a new round of hostages and Israel freed more Palestinians from its prisons in a series of exchanges under the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal. The releases have brought relief and joy to the families of the hostages, but have also unnerved and angered Israelis. Hamas has turned each release into a spectacle and ceremony, showcasing their survival as a fighting force and highlighting the devastation caused by Israel in Gaza. Palestinians view the released prisoners as heroes who have sacrificed for the cause of ending Israel's occupation of their land.
