Hamas Releases Names Of 3 Israeli Hostages To Be Freed In Next Swap

Hamas' armed wing released the names of three captives it said would be freed on Saturday in a fifth hostage-prisoner swap as part of an ongoing agreement with Israel for a Gaza ceasefire.

"Within the framework of the Al-Aqsa Flood deal for the prisoner exchange, the (Ezzedine) Al-Qassam Brigades have decided to release" the three hostages, Abu Obeida, spokesman for the armed wing, said on Telegram.
