Hamas has put out the names of four hostages — Israeli female soldiers — who are expected to be released on Saturday as part of the ceasefire deal with Israel.

This comes days after three hostages were released last Sunday. The ceasefire entered its sixth day on Friday and is set to enter its second week.

The hostages who will be freed tomorrow include Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, all aged 20, and Liri Albag, 19. All of them were serving in the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).

All four are set to return to their home in Israel in exchange for the Palestinian prisoners.

Israel has yet not confirmed the names.

“A list of kidnapped women has been received by the mediators. Israel’s response will be provided later," Benjamin Netanyahu’s Prime Minister’s Office said.

As per the terms of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, 33 hostages are to be released within a span of six weeks in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
