Gaza Ceasefire: Hamas Names Four Female Israeli Soldiers To Be Released On Saturday
The armed wing of Hamas - Izzeldeen al-Qassam Brigades - confirmed on Friday that four members of an IDF observation team will be released on Saturday. Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag had been abducted from their base in Nahal Oz during the October 7 attack that triggered the war.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also confirmed that Hamas had shared names with the mediators without divulging additional details. It is pertinent to note that Arbel Yehoud - the last female civilian hostage being held in Gaza - was not listed among the hostages slated for release. Israeli officials had previously indicated that they expected her release over the coming weekend.
Hostage exchange on SundayThe exchange is expected to begin on Saturday afternoon. It follows the release on the ceasefire's first day last Sunday of three Israeli women and 90 Palestinian prisoners - the first such exchange for more than a year.
Details of Gaza ceasefire agreementThe ceasefire agreement, worked out after months of on-off negotiations brokered by Qatar and Egypt and backed by the United States, halted the fighting for the first time since a truce that lasted just a week in Nov. 2023. Legal Disclaimer:
