Israel says it has received a list from Hamas of the six hostages slated for release from Gaza tomorrow.
In a statement, the Prime Minister’s Office says that the families of the hostages on the list have been informed. It asks the public to refrain from sharing rumors or unverified information.
Hamas earlier named those hostages as Tal Shoham, Omer Shem-Tov, Eliya Cohen, Omer Wenkert, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed. The names were publicized in Israel earlier this week when the families were informed.
