Three Israeli hostages — Arbel Yehoud, 29, Agam Berger, 20, and Gadi Moses, 80 — are expected to be returned. Five Thai hostages, who have not been named, are also slated to be freed. Under the terms of the ceasefire agreement, 30 Palestinian prisoners and detainees have been released for civilian hostages, and 50 for captive soldiers.

Hamas is set to free three more Israeli hostages as well as five Thai captives on Thursday, and Israel is to release another 110 Palestinian prisoners, in the third such exchange since a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip took hold earlier this month.
