Original Note:
All 4 Israelis that were rescued by the IDF were civilians. Civilians in captivity are not "prisoners of war" (POWs), but they are hostages, and it's a violation of international law to hold civilians as hostages. https://www.britannica.com/topic/prisoner-of-war https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd11z2j34k4o
