LIVE: Israelis gather as Hamas hostages released from Gaza

Hamas has announced the names of three Israeli hostages to be released on Saturday as the ceasefire in Gaza appears to be holding after a week of uncertainty. Sasha Trufanov, a Russian-Israeli, Sagui Dekel-Chen, an American-Israeli, and Yair Horn, an Argentine-Israeli, will be freed after Hamas threatened to delay this week’s release, after accusing Israel of violating the terms of the ceasefire. It claimed Israel opened fire on civilians and failed to deliver sufficient tents into Gaza. During the first six weeks of the ceasefire, Israel is obliged to deliver a minimum of 60,000 temporary homes and 200,000 tents into Gaza. Three Palestinians were shot dead by Israel’s Defence Forces last weekend, according to the local health authorities.
