      Detained suspect, Detained for National Security or equivalent is probably what goes on the paperwork. If they’re held longer than reasonable repatriation takes, they would then become prisoners of some type.

      Informally, prisoner is probably used the most, in spite of whatever is actually correct.

      Genuine question, how did you come up with any of these? Do you just throw any random label without taking into account what they mean?

      To be imprisoned means to be kept in confinement as a punishment. They’re not prisoners by the definition of the word nor are they being tortured (like where did you even get this from?). If we were to label their current status accurately then they’re arrestees in custody of Israel.
