Israeli hostages get gift bags from Hamas, What does it contain?
During the release of three Israeli hostages, Hamas fighters gave each one of them a "gift bag" before leaving them. The gifts caused a wide controversy on social media where some called the move a "smart" one by Hamas.
Israeli reports indicated that the souvenirs included a map of the Gaza Strip, pictures of the female prisoners during their captivity, and a certificate of appreciation.
Social media users widely posted photos and videos of the three Israeli hostages along with the gifts and commented that "Hamas doesn't miss a chance to prove its victory over Israel". Another person said: "After 400 days of captivity and a gift on top of that. Captivity and gifts… Hamas is a movement that will be immortalized in history."
