Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson, Abu Obeidah, said Karina Ariev, Liri Albag, Naama Levy and Guy Gilboa-Dalal would be returned to Israel.

The Yedioth Ahronoth daily said the three women and one male captives are expected to be handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Saturday afternoon, after which they will be transferred to Israeli occupation forces.

Israel is also expected to receive the full list of both live and deceased captives tomorrow.

“According to Israeli estimates, at least 25 of the 33 hostages are still alive,” the daily added.

Israel is set to release a second batch of Palestinian prisoners on Saturday under the agreement.

The first six-week phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement took effect on 19 January, suspending the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave.

The three-phase ceasefire agreement includes a prisoner exchange and sustained calm, aiming for a permanent truce and the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza.
