Hamas had to stop Gazan civilians from killing the returning Jewish hostages

Another round of Israeli hostages were released by Hamas in the Gaza Strip Tuesday, making it the fifth round of an extended six day cease-fire. Not one American was released today out of the twelve who were released.

As they were taken for release to the Red Cross, with Israel as their final destination, the hostages traveled through Gaza and were confronted by violent Palestinian civilians who shouted "Allahu Akbar" and blocked the vehicles from getting to their destination. Egyptians had to rescue the hostages as they were threatened with death and otherwise harassed. 

This should not be surprising to anyone who knows the score. Almost 75% of Palestinian civilians believe the October 7 murderous attack and kidnapping of Israelis was justified, including the murders, rapes, mutilations and torturing of 1,400 Jews of all ages.

Meanwhile, recent polling from the Arab World for Research & Development shows the vast majority of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank approve of the October 7 massacre of more than 1400 Israeli civilians in their homes, at a music festival, in bomb shelters and elsewhere.
