The events of the release of Hamas turn from time to time from humiliating to dangerous, Israel should prepare to threaten to blow up the deal if the phenomenon continues, or at the very least prepare intervention forces to protect the abductees if necessary.

Another wave of releasing hostages, another snarling and rioting crowd, more inflammatory billboards, more victory parades and humiliation marches for the abductees. Israeli defeatism endangers the lives of the abductees, and brings us closer to the event that will be remembered as the "lynching in Gaza"...
One by one, our abductees are humiliated by Hamas, but that is not the problem. Gloating [for the other's pain] is one thing, but what is unfolding in the release of Hamas prisoners is an event far beyond gloat for pain, or even a blunder of one kind or another. The release of the Hamas prisoners creates a demonic dance that may quickly end in hostages being murdered in front of the cameras.
Hamas turned the event of the release of the abductees into showpieces, triumphal displays of power, humiliation, nationalism and incitement. Inciting signs against Israel are raised in every corner, "Victory" displays in front of IDF units star and the humiliation of the abductees is the crowning glory of the barbarians.
Such events can deteriorate quickly, very quickly and in extreme ways. Take this deadly combination, which is already getting worse from week to week, and boil it some more over the coming weekend, and the week after that, and another one after that. Already now the Gazan crowd is attacking each abductee, throwing hands and fists, hitting the vehicles carrying them home, shaking them and shouting victory cries to Allah.
It doesn't take much for this "humiliating" event to turn deadly, all it takes is for one Gazan to replace the hand reaching out to grab the clothes of the young girls or the elderly with a knife or a rock. As long as Israel allows Hamas to turn the release of the prisoners into a show event, their lives are in greater danger during the release than anywhere else.
There may be no escape and Israel will be forced, at least to threaten, to blow up the deal if such events continue. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have intervention forces that could land in the heart of the crowd and act if necessary. Israel must insist not on its pride, but on the lives of its citizens. Hamas can continue to turn the liberation ceremonies into pre-filmed victory celebrations and maintain the same rituals in private rooms, but Hamas' lust must not be allowed to become an event that will lead to the lynching of hostages in front of cameras, Israel must wake up and act.
Gaza mob attacked kidnapped people who were in captivity after 482 days. Nazis.

Netanyahu condemns ‘unimaginable cruelty’ of Hamas after hostages mobbed
“I demand that the mediators ensure that such horrific scenes do not recur,” said the Israeli prime minister, after masses of Gaza residents swarmed the returnees.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday condemned the crowds of Gazans that mobbed three Israeli hostages as they were being released by Hamas.
“I view the shocking scenes during the release of our hostages as very serious,” wrote Netanyahu after the release of Arbel Yehud, Gadi Mozes, Agam Berger and five Thai citizens, all of whom were abducted to Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023.
“This is further proof of the unimaginable cruelty of the Hamas terrorist organization. I demand that the mediators ensure that such horrific scenes do not recur, and guarantee the safety of our hostages. Those who dare harm our hostages do so at their own peril,” Netanyahu wrote.
Footage from the release shows massive crowds, apparently in a state of jubilation, swarming around cars transporting the hostages and around the Hamas terrorists escorting the Israelis from the vehicles.

Get your people back and then kill them. FU to the rest of the world. Such barbarism needs to be exterminated
All these snarling crowds prove that all of Gaza is feral. If this tenuous deal falls they I say Moab the whole lot!
I presume there will be some hostages still in Gaza and Hamas will lie that they are “dead.” Will play with oeople’s emotions, as “good islamofascists”.
Exactly the point ,about the false “innocents”
What the hostages were “met” with was pre-planned intentional hostile intimidation by Hamas. Hamas was as much as saying: O.K., you are released now, but we will be back.
There’s no peace possible with these savages.
Kill them all.

Which is why in the very olden days - enemies were slaughtered - man, woman, and child, no mercy - streets were ankle deep in blood.
God is not mocked. He will repay.
Amen
Documentation of the celebrations in Gaza from October 7. They celebrate a brutal massacre. They celebrate kidnapping babies and grandmothers. They celebrate crimes against humanity by the terrorist organization ISIS-Hamas. These are many of the “innocent” citizens of Gaza... and the world pities them and not the Israeli victims of the terrorist attack.

Winning a war requires removing the enemy’s means to fight but their will to fight as well. Hama”s will to fight is as strong as ever.
Israel has stopped releasing Hamas prisoners because of what they’re doing to the hostages.
How can you live with this cult in peace? When their brothers know this. Which is why Egypt doesn’t want them.
Not 1 cent of our tax dollars should go to this place to repair anything.
