Hamas publishes the names of four female Israeli hostages who are set to be released by the terror group tomorrow after 477 days in captivity.

There are seven remaining female hostages from the original list of 33 to be released in the first phase of the ceasefire deal.
These are civilians Arbel Yehud, 29, and Shiri Silberman Bibas, 33; and soldiers Liri Albag, 19, Karina Ariev, 20, Agam Berger, 21, Danielle Gilboa, 20, and Naama Levy, 20.
