Karina Ariev, 20, Daniella Gilboa, 20, Naama Levy, 20, and Liri Albag, 19 are set to return to Israel in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, according to officials.

Karina, a soldier at the Nahal Oz base, was abducted during the attack, as her sister Alexandra heard gunfire during a phone call between the two. A video released by Hamas later showed Karina being taken away in a vehicle.
