Hamas publishes names of 3 Israeli captives to be freed

Hamas released the names of the three Israeli captives to be freed on the first day of the implementation of the ceasefire deal in Gaza, a Hamas spokesperson said in a post on Telegram.

The move potentially clears the way for the truce to begin after an hours-long delay.

Abu Obeida, spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing the Qassam Brigades, said, “As part of the prisoner exchange deal we decided to release today: Romi Gonen, 24, Emily Damari, 28, and Doron Shtanbar Khair, 31.”
