Hamas has revealed the names of the four Israeli hostages who will be freed on Saturday in the second exchange since the cease-fire deal between the Jewish state and terror group went into effect last week.
Hamas announced Friday that soldiers Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag will be released after spending more than 15 months in captivity in exchange for additional Palestinian prisoners — as part of the first phase of the agreement reached with Israeli officials.
The exchange is expected to take place on Saturday afternoon.

Israel agreed to accept the four hostages despite accusing Hamas of violating the precarious cease-fire deal because one of the two civilian hostages still captive in Gaza was not on the list of names to be released tomorrow.
