Three Israeli hostages and five Thai nationals are expected to be freed from Gaza by Hamas on Thursday, Israel has said.
Two women, civilian Arbel Yehud, 29, and military observer Agam Berger, 20, have been named along with an 80-year-old man, Gadi Moses, as the Israelis set for release.
If completed, it will be the third hostage release of the latest Gaza ceasefire deal. In exchange for the Israeli hostages, 110 Palestinians are being freed from Israeli jails.
The Thai hostages' names have not yet been made public. Their release would be a unilateral move by Hamas, and would not constitute part of the deal.
They are reportedly agricultural workers who were abducted from Israel where they worked.
Thailand's government has said six of its citizens are still being held hostage in Gaza.
Their names are Watchara Sriuan, Bannawat Seatho, Sathian Suwannakham, Nattapong Pinta, Pongsak Tanna and Surasak Lamnau.
Thailand said two other Thai hostages - Sudthisak Rinthalak and Sonthaya Oakkharasri - are believed to be dead.
The names of the 110 Palestinian prisoners set to be freed by Israel have not been released either, but it's thought they include at least 30 women and children, as well as prisoners sentenced to life terms.
Their release is part of the third such exchange since the ceasefire came into effect on 19 January. Seven women have already been freed alive in exchange for more than 290 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
A fourth hostage release involving three men is expected to take place on Saturday, the Israeli government said.
The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
More than 47,310 people in Gaza have been killed since then in Israel's offensive, the majority of them civilians, the territory's Hamas-run health ministry says.
