Original Note:
Most of the Israelis taken on Oct 7 were civilians abducted by Hamas during a surprise attack. They were non-combatants, making the term “prisoners of war” false. Additionally, there was no declared war until after they were taken hostage. https://www.diakonia.se/ihl/news/2023-hostilities-in-gaza-and-israel-factual-account-of-events/ https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/israeli-palestinian-conflict https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/06/israel-six-months-october-7/
