Word for Israeli combatant captured by Hamas = 'hostage'
Word for Palestinian combatant captured by the IDF = 'murderer'
Holding cell for Israeli combatant captured by Hamas = 'dungeon'
Holding cell for Palestinian combatant captured by the IDF = 'prison'
Description of Israeli combatant on his release = 'pale', 'gaunt', 'thin'
Description of Palestinian combatant on his release = none heard
