Interesting to note, that many of the Palestinians were also hostages, not prisoners. Many were not even charged with a crime. While many of the Israelis were taken as prisoners of war awaiting exchange, which is quite customary in prisoner of war situations. But the dominant narrative requires that Palestinians be called prisoners, and Israelis hostages regardless of the factual situation.
