 Yes; I think one of the facts that's not known is that Israel abducted a large number of Palestinians (Gazan) civilians, including many children, following Oct 7.  

In particular, I think the number of people "detained" (aka taken hostage) by Israel after Oct 7 is more than those taken hostages by Hamas -- so perhaps we could have a post about "Has Israel Kidnapped more civilians than Hamas since Oct 7". (As always, taking civilians hostages is wrong, no matter who does it, but somehow there is little awareness of hostages held by Israel -- these are people without any charges.)

"Before October 7, there were 1,200 people in administrative detention. At the start of January, this rose to 3,291" (from PBS)
