A word of caution.
When it comes to exchange of resources following an attack there is huge precedence to be taken account of.

Re: Gaza/ Israel
It's a fact.Israel have engaged in and continue to engage in illegal land grab and theft. I'm not citing lists of the 'spoils of war' from their various military engagements with their neighbours since Israel was founded ... needless to say it's territory has grown substantially. Occupation, resettling and annexation been the Israeli preferred method of colonisation.
Israel are now a law unto themselves ... and impervious or arrogantly ignorant of international criticism and any element of compromise. They are no longer the underdog. Can't blame them for that attitude after WW2 but it could be said they've become just another power hungry butcher in the ME.
They're now identical to their neighbours.
It's the 'last man standing mentality'.
Yes, they have the right to defend themselves but no one can deny they have become a major provocateur in the region so it's pointless to dress them up as the victim anymore. Their staunchest supporters simply absolve them totally of any wrongdoing.

and with the backing of the US :
The United States and Israel signed an agreement in September 2016 to give Israel $38 billion in military assistance over the next decade, the largest such aid package in U.S. history but one that included concessions by Israel’s government.
