Israeli analysts have made no secret of their anger at footage of Hamas fighters and Israeli prisoners making peace gestures to each other as they surrender to Red Cross teams in the Gaza Strip.
The footage circulated as Israeli TV stations reported that the families of the Israeli hostages said their relatives were treated well during their captivity.
But analysts in Israel consider that the images depict the "humanity" of Hamas fighters, and they strongly oppose these images.
Political analyst Yaniv Peleg said in an article for the right-wing newspaper Israel Hayom that televising the footage is harmful to Israel.
Hamas professionally produces the footage, shot using two or three cameras, including a drone, with the right lighting and settings, he said.
Peleg said every detail is captured to portray the humanity of Hamas fighters to the world.
"We have to admit that the applause Hamas gunmen gave their prisoners on camera after killing their own family members, in some cases in front of their eyes, is a very low performance for humanity," said Maya Lecker. , a political analyst.
"But many pro-Palestinian influencers and social media users, most of them from outside Israel and Palestine, see the hostage surrenders as a public display of humanity and morality by Hamas militants," she added.
Israeli Channel 13 reported Monday that relatives of the freed Israeli hostages said they had not been mistreated or tortured.
Food was scarce, equally evident among all the hostages, while they had lost weight, the channel said.
Tel Aviv has kept the released Israeli hostages away from the media and allowed only relatives and friends to meet them.
Qatar announced a deal late Monday to extend an initial four-day humanitarian pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas for another two days, under which further prisoner exchanges will take place.
Over the past five days, Israel has taken 60 hostages, including women and children, in exchange for the release of 180 Palestinians, including women and children, from Israeli prisons as part of a deal with Hamas.
Israel launched a massive military campaign in the Gaza Strip after a cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7.
Since then, Israeli forces have killed over 15,000 people, including 6,150 children and 4,000 women, according to health authorities in the enclave.
The official death toll in Israel is 1,200. /AA
