The criteria are for women and the elderly to be released. The majority of the remaining hostages are men of military age (as Israel has mandatory conscription, they are military personnel by definition).
So what happened to the old women and children? Sold into slavery? Dead?
Probably dead or unknown. Terror organizations aren't usually known for their record keeping.
Or blown up from the constant indiscriminate bombings of Israel. Thats also a possibility
And even when they try their best, it’s hard when a larger terrorist organization is actively trying to genocide them and bomb everything they know to rubble.
However then umber of dead they provide is constantly quoted.
