Washington Post stealth edits caption describing Israeli woman's children as being 'detained' by Hamas

The Washington Post stealth edited the caption of a photo Thursday that initially described Israeli children as having been "detained" by Hamas terrorists. The caption was subsequently changed to say they were "taken hostage."

The terror group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, with hundreds of terrorists pouring into the country, killing over 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping many others. The Israeli military said Thursday there are still 203 hostages in Gaza.

The Post published a piece Thursday about the families of hostages, but it was the caption of a photo of a mother saying, "Two of her children have been detained by Hamas," that drew the most attention. 

The Post was called out for the mild language in a series of viral social media posts.
