Palestinian resistance group Hamas said Tuesday that it will release six living Israeli captives and the bodies of four hostages this week under a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner swap deal with Israel.

“It has been agreed to release the remaining six living Israeli captives on Saturday under the first phase” of the Gaza deal, Hamas leader in Gaza Khalil Al-Hayya said in a recorded speech.

He named Hisham al-Sayed and Avera Mengistu among the six hostages set for release on Saturday.

The Hamas leader said his group will also hand over the bodies of four Israeli captives on Thursday, including members of the Bibas family.

“The (Israeli) enemy will release Palestinian prisoners in return under the agreement,” he added.

Hayya said Hamas will continue to hand over more bodies of Israeli captives next week as agreed under the first phase of the Gaza agreement.

Next week’s releases will bring the number of Israeli hostages released by Hamas under the first phase of the Gaza deal to 33 captives, including 25 living hostages and eight bodies.

So far, a total of 1,135 Palestinian prisoners have been freed from Israeli prisons. Israel is scheduled to release 502 more prisoners this week.

Hayya described these steps as part of Hamas’ “continuous efforts to render success to the first phase of the ceasefire deal” and “pave the way for entering the second phase in response to mediation efforts.”

The Gaza ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement took effect on Jan. 19, suspending Israel’s genocidal war that has killed nearly 48,300 Palestinians and left the enclave in ruins.

Last November The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
