Hamas names four female Israeli soldiers it will release from Gaza this weekend

Final female Israeli civilian held in Gaza not on list of names supplied by Hamas for next exchange

Hamas has published the names of four female Israeli soldiers being held captive in Gaza who it says it plans to release this weekend as part of the continuing ceasefire agreement between the armed group and Israel.

In the hours following the release of the names, however, the office of Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to indicate it believed Hamas had breached the fragile ceasefire deal because the four names did not include that of the remaining female civilian hostage in Gaza.
