The Israel Prison Service says it has received a list of 42 Palestinian terror convicts who will be released today as part of the deal with Hamas that will also see a group of hostages released from Gaza later today.
This is the second day out of four in which such exchanges are expected to be held, with additional days of ceasefire possible if Hamas agrees to release more hostages.
The Prison Service says the prisoners will be moved to Ofer Prison in the West Bank for medical checks by the International Red Cross, ahead of their release to the West Bank or East Jerusalem.
They will go free only after the group of Israeli hostages is released and properly identified.
