Releasing the hostages won't stop anything.

It will change what many people think about Hamas.

The IDF was headshotting children before October 7th.

Israel released 2000 people for just 33. This shows the hostages are meaningful to Israel. Thinking "there is no point in releasing hostages" is not smart.

Seventeen days later? I don't think you can call that a "trigger"

Cut off aid 1 day after. Cut off electricity 7 days after. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/israel-gaza-ceasefire-timeline-1.7487965

Fact is, Israel has been violating the ceasefire since the beginning according to the reports I've been reading.

Hamas would violate them too if they could. Ceasefires can't be ideal when both sides hate each other so much.

so they're going to use them to the best tactical, strategic and diplomatic advantage they can. It's the smart thing to do.

How many people already died in bombings? Did it worth the 2000 of people released by Israel? Or 4000 more people they could possibly release for the remaining hostages?

Smart things to do? Hamas are not smart in my eyes. Instead of caring about Palestinians and building defenses, they built rockets and tunnels for useless attacks. They are neither good tacticians, nor good strategists, nor good diplomats.

Even if I forget how "smart" the October attack was, not releasing hostages when being told "release them or we will kill you" is not a smart thing to do, if you really care about your own life and the life of Palestinians.
