Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Office said that the list Hamas published of the four names of hostages to be released on Saturday did not comply with the agreement in a statement on Friday.
"Israel is preparing to receive the hostages tomorrow. The list of prisoners will be provided this evening," a security source said Friday evening, according to Israeli media.
As part of the hostage deal, it was agreed that the four hostages set for release on Saturday are to be three soldiers and one civilian.
The deal will see 33 hostages released in the first phase in exchange for the release of security prisoners, humanitarian aid, and an IDF withdrawal from some areas in Gaza.
Hamas is also supposed to pass on a list of the status of the remaining 26 hostages held in Gaza who are on the release list for the first phase.
For the first time, Israel will, therefore, receive official information about the fate of the Bibas family: Parents Shiri and Yarden and children, Ariel and Kfir.
