Hamas informed the International Committee of the Red Cross that the handover of the hostages will take place after 8:00 a.m. from three different points in the Gaza Strip, Saudi newspaper Asharq reported, citing a source familiar with the details.
Hamas will determine the exact dates and inform the Red Cross of the locations of the handover, according to the report.
The report also mentioned that a technical meeting was held last night between Hamas and the Red Cross team to arrange the handover. Hamas updated the Red Cross on the status of the living hostages, without further details.
The exchange operation will reportedly take place simultaneously, and Hamas has received a new list of the names of the Palestinian prisoners to be released, the source added.
According to him, the mediators are continuing to work until the last minute to improve the list, and the list does not include the names of senior terrorists such as Marwan Barghouti.
This is a developing story.
