Hamas has sent Israel the names of three hostages slated for release today, according to Palestinian and Israeli media reports. The list, required under the terms of the ceasefire agreement, was sent to mediators and subsequently delivered to Israeli officials, sources told Kan public broadcaster.
This comes after Israeli fighter jets continued striking targets in Gaza after the ceasefire planned for 8:30 a.m. failed to take effect. The IDF confirmed the strikes, citing Hamas’s initial failure to meet its obligations under the agreement.
The Palestinian civil defense agency reported eight Palestinians killed in the airstrikes. According to the IDF, airstrikes were targeting undisclosed locations in Gaza, with additional details to be provided later.
Meanwhile, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and his far-right Otzma Yehudit party resigned from the governing coalition Sunday morning. Ben-Gvir submitted his resignation letters this morning, following through on his earlier promise to leave if the ceasefire and hostage deal were approved.
