Original Note:
The term "prisoners of war" refers to combatants. However, all 4 people that were rescued today and to whom the OP refers to in his post, are civilians that were kidnapped on from from the Nova music festival, and as such are considered to be "hostages". https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-hostages-rescued-noa-argamani-gaza-b2559257.html https://lieber.westpoint.edu/hostage-taking-law-armed-conflict/
