Original Note:
NNN - It is not claimed that these teenagers are civilians, nor is that relevant: Taking hostages is “prohibited by the 4th Geneva Convention and is considered a grave breach thereof .” The laws do “not limit the offence to the taking of civilians,” but apply to any person. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule96#Fn_E597D6C_00002
