Original Note:
The term "prisoners of war" refers to combatants. However, Noa argamani that were rescued today and to whom the OP refers to in his post, is a civilian that was kidnapped 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/
