British-Israeli Emily Damari is among 33 hostages Hamas is set to release as the long-anticipated Gaza ceasefire deal officially comes into effect.
On Sunday, Hamas confirmed the names of the first three hostages to be set free, including Damari, 28, Doron Steinbrecher, 31, and Romi Gonen, 24.
All three were abducted during the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and are now due to be returned to their families 470 days later.
There are 30 other names in the list, including women, men, and children, and they are all due to to be released in the first stage of the ceasefire deal.
The list, shared by the Times of Israel, is not in order of release, and does not indicate the condition of the hostages – but Israel believes that most of the 33 are alive.
According to the Israeli news channel, each day, once the hostages have been received by IDF troops and the families are updated, the Prime Minister’s Office will issue a statement with the names of the captives that have been released.
