The Gaza cease-fire deal hangs in the balance as Hamas begins releasing the names of hostages it will free after Israel continued military attacks Sunday morning, saying the militant group wasn’t meeting its obligations under the agreement.
The cease-fire was supposed to take effect at 8:30 a.m. local time Sunday, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces would continue their attacks until Hamas gave the names of hostages it planned to release.
Hamas has now said the first three hostages it will release under the cease-fire agreement are Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, the BBC reported. Hamas did not provide the names earlier due to “technical field reasons,” according to the report.
