Hamas Friday named the three Israeli hostages who are to be released Saturday, after agreeing to resume hostage releases agreed to in its cease-fire deal with Israel.

It is the fifth prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas since the two warring parties reached a cease-fire deal last month. The three hostages were returned safe to Israel, confirmed an official government X account, which accused Hamas of having starved the three men.
