The first group of seven freed Israeli hostages has been handed over the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip, Israeli state broadcaster Kan reported on Monday. Earlier in the day, the Palestinian movement had published a list of 20 hostages to be released as part of the peace deal.
Hamas has said 20 living hostages will be exchanged for over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
The list matches the one known to Israel, the Israeli Army Radio reports.
All 1,966 Palestinian detainees slated for release on Monday have boarded buses at Israeli prisons, Reuters cited an official as saying.
