EDATV Hamas will release four Israeli soldiers as part of the ceasefire agreement.
The female soldiers were kidnapped during the October 7, 2023 attacks against Israel, according to official sources.
Hamas announced the release of four Israeli military hostages this Saturday. The spokesperson Abu Obeida confirmed the news.
Karina Arif, Danielle Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Elbag, Israeli soldiers, will be released, according to the spokesperson of the armed wing.
The names have been published by Hamas and confirmed by the office of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement.
The release is part of the ceasefire agreement reached with Israeli authorities in the Gaza Strip this month.
The soldiers were kidnapped during the attacks on October 7, 2023, against Israel, according to official sources.
Hamas assured that it will hand over the four women to Red Cross teams tomorrow, fulfilling the established agreement.
The ceasefire includes an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners in an effort to de-escalate the conflict.
Last week, Hamas released three hostages in exchange for 90 Palestinian prisoners, in a show of truce between the parties.
The agreement stipulates the exchange of a total of 33 Israeli hostages for more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners in several phases.
The release of these four soldiers aims to advance the fulfillment of the terms established in the current agreement.
Hamas published the names through the newspaper "Filastin," a media outlet affiliated with the group, which confirmed the handover to the Red Cross tomorrow.
The Government of Israel continues negotiating to ensure the release of all hostages captured in the attacks.
The exchanges are monitored by international mediators who seek to consolidate the truce between the opposing parties.
The Red Cross plays a key role in ensuring the safety of the hostages and facilitating the exchange agreed upon by both parties.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has left thousands dead and injured since the clashes began in October.
The international community remains alert to the progress in the release of hostages and the fulfillment of the agreement in Gaza.
