The list of names published by Hamas of the female hostages that the terror group is set to release tomorrow is in apparent violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Senior Israeli officials are holding consultations on the issue.
Under the agreement, in the first sets of releases during the 42-day Phase One of the deal, female civilians are to be released first, then female soldiers. On Sunday, on the day the ceasefire deal came into effect, female civilian hostages Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher were freed.
Israeli officials have requested that media outlets not publish the names until the families of the hostages have been notified.
