Does taking prisoners of war really count as arresting them?
If you want to be pedantic: Hamas is not a state actor and its fighters usually don't wear uniforms. They are thus not considered combattants, which in turn means they can't be prisoners of war.
also, saying "we can't be sure who is and isn't hamas" is an ongoing way of further brutalizing Palestinian civilians.
