I'm lacking context or something because I don't understand why that is so significant.
It means most of the hostages aren't "civilians" as many people claim. So they're more like POWs.
There aren't really many "civilians" in israel to begin with tbf, except children. Half the population are IDF conscripts, and most of the other half are fascist settlers and colonizers just the same. Those were the main casualties in the Oct 7 attack too.
