Israel has received a list of four female hostages that Hamas is set to release on Saturday as part of the second round of releases under the ceasefire deal reached earlier this month. The hostages to be freed are Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag, all of whom were serving as Israel Defense Forces soldiers when they were kidnapped.
Despite Israel's expectation for the release of Arbel Yehud, a female civilian hostage still held in Gaza, to be included in Saturday's release, Hamas has not listed her. Yehud, taken from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz, is believed to be held by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, not Hamas.
