The Israel Prison Service says it is taking measures to prevent any “public displays of joy” when Palestinian prisoners are released as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

The escort from ‘Shikma’ Prison will not be handled by civilian buses of the [International Committee of the] Red Cross,” the statement says.

Instead “special units” from the prison service would handle transport, the statement says.

Yakobi also tells prisoners earmarked for release to “refrain from expressions of joy within Israel.”

They know they lost the war, and they’re trying to hide it.

This isn't a new thing. It's not the first time they've prohibited people from celebrating their loved ones' release. That's a regular practice on their part. The folks (often kids at time of capture) they let go are also typically dehydrated and emaciated.

That’s the point, any hostage they have to release is a defeat.
