Palestinian militant groups have confirmed the names of the three hostages it will release tomorrow as part of the ceasefire deal.
Yair Horn, American-Israeli Sagui Dekel-Chen and Russian-Israeli Alexandre Sasha Troufanov have been slated to be handed over to Israeli authorities.
Hamas officials declared the impending release of Dekel-Chen and Horn while the Palesgtinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group said it would release Russian-Israeli Alexandre Sasha Troufanov, according to Reuters.
A statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office this morning said Israel has accepted the list.
The announcement comes after days of tension over whether the ceasefire agreement installed last month would hold, and followed intense efforts by Egyptian and Qatari mediators to keep the US-backed agreement on track.
Hamas previously threatened to withhold any more of the 33 hostages due for release after acusing Israel of violating the terms of the ceasefire by blocking aid from entering Gaza, which prompted counterthreats of a resumption of fighting from Israel.
If released, Horn, 46, Dekel Chen, 36, and Troufanov, 29, will be returned to Israel as part of the sixth hostage-prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas since the latest ceasefire deal began on 19 January.
Troufanov has also been the subject of intense lobbying efforts from the Russian government, who have been negotiating with PIJ to try and secure his freedom for months.
