Releasing hostages at a large public gathering, he added, was laden with risks and unpredictability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israeli medical professionals advocating for hostages in Gaza warned that chaotic handoffs could trigger traumatic memories of the hostages\u2019 first moments in Gaza, in which militants drove some of them through rowdy crowds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe release is reliving, to some extent, the kidnapping,\u201d said Dr. Hagai Levine, the head of the medical team with the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, an Israeli group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since the cease-fire deal between Hamas and Israel came into effect last Sunday, Hamas has worked hard to show that it remains the dominant Palestinian party in Gaza, with militants parading through city centers and police officers deploying at intersections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is not clear how many fighters, police officers, bureaucrats and political leaders survived the war, but by showcasing the handovers in such a public way, Hamas made clear that it is still standing in parts of Gaza that were subjected to some of the most destructive bombing attacks of the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Patrick Kingsley<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async
