Hamas was expected to release a second group of Israelis on Saturday under a deal to allow an exchange of 50 hostages for Palestinian prisoners, and Egypt indicated the four-day truce could be extended by one or two days.

 

An Israeli military spokesman said barring last minute changes, 13 Israeli hostages were expected to be freed Saturday, while 39 Palestinian prisoners would be released in return.

 

Director of Paediatrics, Giliet Levni, who attended to some of the hostages expressed satisfaction at their state of mind, saying the medical team will continue to examine and monitor them.

Earlier, Egyptian security sources had said they had received the names of 14 Israeli women and children from Hamas and were waiting for more details.
