Israel has arrested about 1,740 Palestinians in overnight raids in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7.

Most are being held under laws and military orders that allow detention without trial or charge.

So.... Kidnapped? Held hostage?

Yes and yes, it appears. They were already doing that previously, of course, with all the Palestinian workers. But this is more blatant than even that.

Yes, Israel holds vastly more hostages than Hamas ever has.

Hamas' public statement is that the hostages they took were intended to be used to trade for Palestinian hostages held by Israel.

So... Well, yeah lol.
