Hamas has released the names of three Israeli hostages it says it will release on Saturday in the fifth such swap of a fragile ceasefire in Gaza. The hostages are Eli Sharabi, Ohad ben Ami and Or Levy, Hamas armed wing spokesperson Abu Obeida said in a Telegram post. In return for the captives' release, Hamas said it expects 183 Palestinian prisoners to be released. Last month, a ceasefire was agreed which brought to an end around 15 months of fighting in Gaza during which more than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed.
