See above.

Like I said, a line you can't cross. In the references I've seen it wasn't just for prisoners. Perhaps it came into more use afterward as a security term.

Large protests that enter into secure areas can distract the people who are there to guard and such actions -- thanks to the danger of the Palestinian terrorists -- can have deadly consequences for the soldiers or the civilians they are protecting.

The IDF, much like any force protecting something, has the right to keep others out of a secure area. If you try to enter a military base in the U.S. in times like these, you will find quickly that they will not tolerate it. If you get a large group and try to invade the base, they will use crowd control on you.
