I assume hostiles are "captured" by Israel, because that is recognized as a government by our media. I then assume the media uses "kidnapped" when it's done by guerrilla fighters or non-governmental forces such as the Iraqi Sunnis or others. I recall US media referring to the kidnapping of American soldiers who were subsequently beheaded. Google "two U.S. soldiers kidnapped" and you will find story after story calling it "kidnapping". Maybe I'm wrong about this use of language but, either way, I haven't heard of Israeli soldiers being either kidnapped or captured before.
