The names of three hostages that the Palestinian militant group Hamas claims it would liberate on Saturday as part of the ceasefire agreement with Israel have been made public.
They are American-Israeli Keith Siegel, 65, and Israelis Ofer Kalderon, 53, and Yarden Bibas, 34.
Kfir, the youngest hostage, was abducted by Hamas at the age of ten months, and his father, Mr. Bibas, is his father. Shiri, his wife, and their four-year-old son, Ariel, were also taken prisoner.
The list of hostages was sent to Israel, according to the office of the Israeli prime minister.
In exchange, Israel will free a further group of Palestinian detainees.
Since the truce went into force on January 19, this will be the fourth time that hostages have been exchanged for detainees.
