Original Note:
In the military context, hostages differ from prisoners of war, although prisoners may be used in exchanges. Hostage-taking is a war crime. Israel is known for detaining (taking hostages) Palestinian youths as young as 16 for throwing stones at military vehicles during raids. https://theconversation.com/gaza-war-palestinian-prisoners-will-be-a-key-condition-of-any-ceasefire-deal-heres-why-224700
