Your lack of knowledge about something you are choosing to argue about is astonishing to me. Most (or all as you suggest) were NOT IDF soldiers:
Alon Ohel, 24, loves music and began playing the piano at the age of 9. He planned to begin his studies at Israel’s Rimon School of Music in October 2023, but was kidnapped at the Nova music festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7 along with Eliya Cohen, Or Levy and the late Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
Ariel Cunio, 28, was working as a software tester and shares a love of astronomy with his partner, Arbel Yehud, who grew up with him in kibbutz Nir Oz. He and Yehud were kidnapped together, but she was released in January under a previous ceasefire deal. His brother David Cunio was also kidnapped Oct. 7 and released Monday.
