Hamas will release six more people from the hostage situation during the coming week and in return, Israel will allow Gaza residents to return to northern Gaza, starting on Monday.

This is reported by Israeli media and BBC.

Among the three to be released before Friday is Arbel Yehud, the woman Israel claims should have been released already on Saturday.

The fact that this did not happen triggered accusations of breach of the ceasefire, which both sides have accused each other of.

In addition to the three to be released on Thursday, three more from the hostage situation will be freed on Saturday, according to the office of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The agreement came, according to Israel, after "tough and determined negotiations" and Israel will, according to the statement, "not allow any violations of the agreement".
