Gaza: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) announced that it will release three Israeli detainees tomorrow, Saturday, as part of a prisoner exchange deal with Israel.
Hamas specified that the Israeli detainees to be released are Ofer Kalderon, Keith Shmonsel Segal, and Yarden Bibas.

Meanwhile, Prisoners' Information Office stated that 90 Palestinian prisoners will also be released from Israeli prisons tomorrow as part of the fourth phase of the exchange deal.

According to the office's statement, following the submission of the Israeli detainees' names by the Palestinian resistance, upcoming release will include nine prisoners serving life sentences and 81 detainees with high sentences.

The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel came into effect on January 19, effectively ending the deadly war waged by Israeli occupation forces on Gaza since October 7, 2023.
