Hamas identified four female Israeli soldiers to be released on Saturday in accordance with a ceasefire agreement with Israel that has halted fighting in the Gaza war since last weekend.

The Palestinian group said on its official telegram channel that it would release Liri Albag, 19; Karina Ariev, 20 years old; Daniella Gilboa, 20; and Naama Levy, 20 years old. All were taken hostage on October 7, 2023, from the Nahal Oz army base on Israel’s border with Gaza.

In Jerusalem, the Israeli prime minister’s office confirmed it had received a list of female hostages passed on by mediators, but did not name the women.

After their surrender, Israel is expected to release 200 Palestinians or two prisoners and detainees, based on a calculation stipulated in the agreement that 50 detainees should be released for every soldier.

If all goes as planned this weekend, Hamas will have freed seven of the 33 hostages expected to be freed in the first six-week phase of the ceasefire agreement. Not all are considered alive. In exchange, Israel will have so far released more than 2,000 Palestinian detainees.
