Hamas, a Palestinian armed organization, has named four more Israeli hostages to release under a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. They may be released on Saturday local time.
The four are Israeli army Kareena Aryev, Daniela Gilboya, Nama Levi and Liri Albagh. They were all part of a unit engaged in surveillance on the Israeli-Gaza border.
Hamas is releasing the hostages in exchange for the release of five Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel, following the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect on Sunday. The two parties then exchanged one -point prisoner and hostage. Israel was released at that time, the imprisoned Palestinian. And four hostages were released from Hamas. After the ceasefire, it will be the second round of exchange.
The two -party war began with the sudden attack on Hamas on October 7, 2012 in Israeli territory. About 1,220 people were killed in the attack. Twenty -one people were brought to Gaza.
In response, Israeli forces attacked Hamas in the Gaza Valley that day. More than 1,220 people have been killed in Gaza during the war for more than a year. Most of them are civilians. This information is from the Hamas -controlled Gaza Ministry of Health.
It was thought that Israeli civilian woman Arbel Yehud may be on the list of hostages to be released today. However, in the list of four people named by Hamas, Arbel’s name is not included.
However, no details are known as to why Arbel’s name is not on the list. Israeli media reported that Arbel may not be held hostage by Hamas. He may be held hostage by another armed group, Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
Hamas will gradually release 26 hostages over the next five weeks. It is expected that information will be provided by Hamas soon.
Meanwhile, those who are being released by Israel have been detained in the country’s prisons for a long time. However, the country has insisted that no one involved in the October 7 attack will be released.
