Four young Israeli female soldiers—Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag—are set to be released by Hamas under the ongoing Gaza ceasefire deal. In exchange, Israel will free 180 Palestinian prisoners. The soldiers, aged 18-20, were captured during the October 7, 2023, attack at Nahal Oz army base. Their release follows the recent freeing of three hostages under the same agreement. The six-week ceasefire aims to free a total of 33 Israeli hostages. While families await their return, the conflict has left 1,200 Israelis and over 47,200 Palestinians dead, highlighting the heavy toll on both sides.
