Hamas has publicly released the names of 20 hostages it says will be freed this morning as part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement with Israel. Israeli officials confirmed that the list corresponds exactly to the one they have.
During the Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, 251 people were abducted and taken into Gaza. While some have since been freed, dozens remain missing or confirmed dead.
The remaining hostages are set to be released today, bringing an end to more than two years of captivity for those still held in Gaza.
In exchange for their release, Israel will free approximately 2,000 Palestinian terrorists.
According to the list published by Hamas, the 20 hostages scheduled for release are:
Bar Kuperstein
Evyatar David
Yosef Chaim Ochana
Segev Kalfon
Avintan Or
Elkana Bohbot
Maxim Harkin
Nimrod Cohen

There is even a name Nimrod. Wasn’t he the one who denied G-ds existence and threw Avrohom into the fire for being against avodah Zara.
