An Israeli official says that Hamas will release three Israelis, including two women and an 80-year-old man, and five Thai nationals in the next hostage release, slated for Thursday

Hamas plans to release three Israeli hostages on Thursday that include a dual American citizen and a civilian whose status last week threatened to disrupt the fragile ceasefire between the militant group and Israel.

Hamas provided Israel with long-awaited information about the status of the hostages listed for release during the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in the war in the Gaza Strip. The move followed intense negotiations over the weekend to resolve a dispute that had threatened to derail the deal.
