Mediators on Wednesday reached a deal to release Palestinian prisoners who were originally set to be released by Israeli authorities last Saturday, along with the handover of Israeli hostages’ bodies by Hamas.
It was gathered that the handovers would take place under Egyptian supervision. However, the date has not yet been spelt out.
Meanwhile, a Gaza-based militant group allied to Hamas, Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades, said it will release the body of Israeli hostage Ohad Yahalomi on Thursday.
Ohad’s is one of four bodies set to be released by Hamas in the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal.
The three-stage ceasefire which came into effect on January 19 is getting to the end of its first phase.
The ceasefire has largely held despite accusations of violations by both sides.
