CAIRO/JERUSALEM - A four-day truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was extended by two days, mediator Qatar said on Nov 27.
It raised the prospect that Hamas would free more hostages beyond the 69 that have been released since the truce began on Nov 24.
Israel’s Army Radio reported the government has received a list of hostages expected to be released on Nov 28. The report cited the Israeli prime minister’s office.
The Axios news website reported the list contained 10 hostages.
There was no immediate comment from the prime minister’s office.
The truce is the first pause in a war that has lasted more than seven weeks so far.
The latest escalation of violence was sparked after Hamas gunmen attacked southern Israel on Oct 7. Israel said 1,200 people were killed and more than 240 taken hostage.
In response, Israel vowed to destroy Hamas and launched an aerial and ground offensive on the Gaza Strip, which the armed group controls. Officials in the enclave say the Israeli operation has killed more than 15,000 people.
Each day since the four-day truce began, Hamas has released some of the hostages while Israel has freed some of Palestinians it holds in its prisons.
Israel previously said it would extend the truce by one day for every 10 more hostages released, providing some respite to Palestinians in the Mediterranean seaside strip from the war.
“An agreement has been reached to extend the humanitarian pause for an additional two days in the Gaza Strip,” a Qatari foreign ministry spokesman said in a post on social media platform X. Hamas also said it had agreed a two-day extension.
There was no immediate comment from Israel, but a White House official confirmed agreement had been reached.
