Qatar reportedly says another 13 children and women will be freed by the Hamas terror group later today, after 51 days held hostage in the Gaza Strip.
As part of a separate agreement, seven foreign nationals will also be set free, Doha says, according to Hebrew-language reports.
Israel will free 39 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
There is no official Israeli announcement on the matter, but the Ynet news site and Army Radio say that Israeli officials confirmed they are expecting 13 Israelis to be released.
Twenty-six people have been released so far as part of the agreement, which has also seen a pause in fighting, humanitarian aid entering the Strip, and three Palestinian prisoners released for every hostage set free.
