On local time 12th, the truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip entered its third day, with expected release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. Thousands of Palestinians continue to head north to Gaza City, which has been the focus of Israeli attacks over the past two months, hoping this truce will end the war.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said in a televised address that day: "Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new road. A road of construction, a road of healing, I hope, also a road of unity."
Spokesman of the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, Bedroosian, said that Israeli hostages are expected to begin being released on the morning of local time October 13, with 20 living hostages to be released together.
Bedroosian said that if the hostages are released earlier, Israel is ready to receive them. After the release of the hostages, Hamas will hand over the remaining 28 corpses of deceased hostages.
According to the ceasefire agreement, Hamas should release the remaining hostages by midday local time on October 13. On the 9th, Hostage Coordinator Hirsch stated that a special task force would be established to help find the remains of any deceased hostages that Hamas could not locate.
The Israeli Prison Service said that before some Palestinian prisoners were expected to be released, they had been transferred to other facilities. The Israeli Ministry of Justice published a list of 250 released Palestinian prisoners, which does not include senior Hamas commanders that Hamas attempted to release.
The Hamas Prisoner Information Office said that negotiations are ongoing with Israeli mediators regarding the list of prisoners to be released.
Israel will also release 1,700 Palestinians detained in Gaza since October 7, 2023, 22 Palestinian minors, and 360 bodies of armed personnel.
Bedroosian said that once the living hostages arrive in Israeli territory, these prisoners will be released. Israeli Defense Minister Katz said that once the hostages return, the army will destroy the underground tunnels built by Hamas in Gaza.
