An Israeli government spokesman, David Mencer, said on Monday that Hamas had provided a list indicating that 25 of the 33 hostages were alive and that eight had been killed. “The list from Hamas matches Israel’s intelligence,” Mr. Mencer added.

As thousands of Israelis came to cheer the helicopter bringing back four female hostages from Gaza on Saturday, it was a bitter-sweet moment as the nation also mourned those left behind.

Hamas said that it intends to release Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag on Saturday. All four of the women were serving as Israel Defense Forces soldiers at the time of their kidnapping.

Hamas has told Israel that eight of 26 Israeli hostages set to be released as part of the first phase of the ceasefire are dead, according to a Middle Eastern official briefed on the matter. New York Giants owner John Mara told GM Joe Schoen how he felt if Saquon Barkley signed in Philadelphia.

France Mark Owens reports from Jerusalem with updates, as a list of hostages held in Gaza was made public on Monday ahead of the next round of prisoner exchanges under the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
