Hamas names next Israeli hostages set to be released | BBC News

Four young female Israeli soldiers are the next set to be released by Hamas as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.

Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag will be freed in exchange for 180 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.

All were serving as observers at the Nahal Oz army base on the border with Gaza when Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October, 2023.

Their release will be the second such exchange since the ceasefire came into effect last Sunday. Three hostages and 90 Palestinian prisoners were released in the first swap.

In total, 33 hostages are set to be freed over six weeks of the first phase of the ceasefire, which came into effect on 20 January, 2025.
