Original Note:
The helmet coverings worn by Hamas during the hostage release, mistaken for “shower caps,” are actually Israeli infantry helmet covers or “Mitznefet” taken from israeli soldiers during battles. Their use in this context is likely intentional, serving as a symbolic message https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitznefet_(Israeli_military) https://www.twz.com/israeli-troops-chefs-hat-helmet-covers-explained
