Hamas announced the release of four Israeli female military hostages on Saturday.
According to a report by the foreign news agency Reuters, the names of the female military hostages released on Saturday are Karina Ariev, Daniela Gilboa, Naama Levi, and Larry Elbag, and they were all members of a military unit. These four female Israeli army soldiers were deployed near Gaza at the time of Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
According to foreign media, under the Gaza ceasefire agreement, 50 Palestinian prisoners will be released for every Israeli soldier, which means that 200 Palestinian prisoners will also be released today.
It should be remembered that on January 19, Hamas handed over the first 3 Israeli prisoners to the Red Cross under the ceasefire agreement, after which 90 Palestinian prisoners were also released from Israeli prisons.
