    Why were the 39 women and children being detained by israel? That seems like a relevant piece of information writers should report on

      They did report on it.

      To quote one article:

      She was 18 when she was arrested and held in the Damon prison in Haifa, accused of stabbing an Israeli settler with a knife.

      Tldr most of the other crimes are:

      threatening security illegally entering Israel without a permit throwing stones supporting terrorism associating with hostile/unknown organisations.

      Tldr it may seem weird to us, but women and children under these terrorist regimes are brought up to do terrible things and may not even realize it. Though Israel did say nobody convicted of murder would be freed though people convicted of attempted murder were eligible.
