Hamas names next Israeli hostages set to be released

Hamas has named four hostages to be released on Saturday under the Gaza ceasefire deal, the BBC reports.

The Palestinian group said on its official Telegram channel that it would release Liri Albag, 19; Karina Ariev, 20; Daniella Gilboa, 20; and Naama Levy, 20.

All of them were taken hostage on Oct. 7, 2023, from the Nahal Oz army base on Israel's border with Gaza.

It will be the second such exchange since the ceasefire came into effect last Sunday.

Three hostages and 90 prisoners were released in the first swap.
