"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Well, it doesn't really happen. There are basically no cases of it happening and even in the original incident there was no "syndrome" or complex mental trauma that made the captives sympathise with their captors.
They just had sympathy for them because they (the captors and hostages) were not terrible people apparently.
Same thing is likely happening here. These people clearly look healthy and well fed so no torture or neglect took place and they finally had the "opportunity" to see the palestinians as humans instead of targets
Also the police showed a reckless disregard for the hostages' lives while the captors didn't.
