Original Note:
The women shown are soldiers, as the majority of Israel’s Jewish population, male or female, are. Military service is not optional (though there are some exemptions). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Israel However, that is irrelevant. Mistreatment of captive soldiers is recognised as a war crime. https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/geneva-convention-relative-treatment-prisoners-war#:~:text=No%20physical%20or%20mental%20torture,disadvantageous%20treatment%20of%20any%20kind.
