Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, announced that they wanted to release 2 Israeli civilians they were holding in the Gaza Strip, but Israel refused, while the Israeli Prime Minister's Office characterised this as 'propaganda' and stated that they would not comment.

In Abu Ubeyde's statement, the names and identity information of the people who wanted to be released were also shared.
The Kassam Brigades announced that they are ready to hand over two Israeli civilian prisoners tomorrow morning, using the same method as the two US citizens they released yesterday.
