Hamas is set to release four Israeli women soldiers held hostage since its October 7, 2023 attack today, under the ceasefire deal with Israel.

Israel confirmed on Friday that it had received a list of names of hostages who are due to return home, though neither side has specified how many Palestinians will be released from Israeli detention if everything goes to plan.

According to the Israeli Hostage and Missing Families Forum, the women due for release are Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag.

Ms Albag turned 19 while in captivity, while the others are all now 20 years old.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed it had received the names through mediators.
