It just doesn’t make a lot of sense. Either Hamas doesn’t play by the rules and doesn’t care about civilians and Israel is punishing Palestinians knowing Hamas won’t care, or Hamas does care about civilians and there is some reason to believe they would release hostages to help civilians.

Gaza population includes Hamas fighters themselves. Including those who are directly taking hostages. So while Hamas may not care about civilians deaths, they should at least care about their own members, or in some cases literally about themselves.
