The terrorist group HAMAS has released the names of four Israeli hostages. They are scheduled to be freed tomorrow, January 25.
This information comes from RBK-Ukraine, citing The Times of Israel.
The publication notes that the hostages have been in captivity for 477 days.
Israeli officials have requested that the media refrain from publishing the names until the families of the hostages have been notified.
Meanwhile, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel has received a list of hostages that HAMAS is expected to release tomorrow through intermediaries.
We remind you that recently the Israeli government and the leadership of the Palestinian group HAMAS signed a ceasefire and hostage exchange agreement.
This agreement came into effect on January 19, when HAMAS released the first three Israeli hostages, and Israelis released 90 Palestinian prisoners.
For more details on why the parties signed the agreement, how long the truce may last, and what new threats exist, read the RBK-Ukraine article.
