Israel has received the list of hostages who are slated to be released by Hamas on Saturday — the second day of the truce, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announces.
After reviewing the list, Israeli security officials notified the hostages’ families, the PMO says.
Yesterday, Israeli authorities notified both the families of the hostages being released as well as those who were not on the first list.
Channel 12 reports that the latest list is 13 names, as it was today, but includes more children.
Only four of the 13 Israelis released today were children.
Netanyahu’s office urges the media to act with caution and avoid publicizing the names of those on the list before they are back in Israel.
