Hamas Releases Names Of First Three Israeli Hostages To Be Freed After Ceasefire Delayed
Hamas has now released the names of the first three Israeli female hostages to be freed, after the ceasefire was delayed with less than an hour to go.
They are Doron Steinbrecher, 31, and dual British-Israeli Emily Damari, 28, who were kidnapped from their kibbutz, as well as Romi Gonen, 24, who was taken from the Supernova festival.
The ceasefire was due to start at 08:30 (06:30 GMT) on Sunday but Israel delayed it after Hamas did not give them the list of hostages in time – Hamas says the delay was “due to technical field reasons”
Israel continues to carry out strikes on Gaza and 10 people have been killed today since the truce was meant to start, the Hamas-run civil defence agency says
Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 back to Gaza as hostages
The attack triggered a massive Israeli offensive on Gaza, during which more than 46,800 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry
