Israeli Government spokesman Shosh Bedrosian has confirmed when the hostages will be released by Hamas.

She said the hostages will be released "early Monday morning" and "are expecting all 20 of our living hostages to be released together at one time to the Red Cross".

The hostages will be taken in "six to eight" vehicles without "any sick displays by Hamas".

They will be driven to forces inside the Israeli-controlled parts of Gaza, before being transferred to Southern Israel.

The spokesman added: "Israel is ready if a living hostage requires any urgent medical attention, they will be brought to a medical facility immediately."

She confirmed that the bodies of the 28 deceased hostages will be released after the living hostages.

Once all of the hostages have been received, the Palestinian prisoners will follow to complete the exchange.

All 20 hostages are set to be released on Monday morning
