The armed wing of Hamas released a list on Sunday of three Israeli hostages who, according to them, are to be freed the same day as part of the cease-fire agreement with Israel.

"The al-Qassam Brigades have decided to release today, Sunday, Jan. 19, 2025, the following Israeli prisoners," stated the armed wing of Hamas, publishing the names of three young women abducted on Oct. 7, 2023. The truce, initially set to start at 6:30 a.m. GMT, was delayed, with Israel demanding to receive this list before implementing the agreement.
