Israel has received from Hamas, through mediating countries, the names of three Israeli hostages to be released from Gaza today as part of a ceasefire-hostage deal.

According to official sources, in exchange, Hamas said that Israel will release 183 Palestinian prisoners. These Israeli hostages were kidnapped in a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.

Hamas has so far released 18 hostages, including five Thai citizens captured in Israel during the attack. Last week, Israel released 183 Palestinian prisoners following the deal.
