Original Note:
Prisoners are individuals legally detained in a conflict while hostages are civilians captured, usually as leverage in negotiations. The Int'l Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) designated the Israelis captured by Hamas as hostages. The term "prisoner swap" is misleading. https://www.icrc.org/en/document/frequently-asked-questions-icrc-and-hostages-held-gaza https://www.redcross.org.uk/stories/disasters-and-emergencies/world/what-is-the-red-cross-doing-to-help-hostages-in-gaza
