    They were held in “administrative detention” in a state run prison.

    Detainee and prisoner are pretty standard terms for that context.

          As you can read in the article half the Palestinians that were kidnapped were also not held hostage for rule of law. Rather israel wants to spread fear and terror in the west bank to support their illegal colonies.

          They don’t have to, Israel is free to make bullshit reasons to capture and hold civilians from another country some as young as 14 without charges but most people would call them hostages at that point.
