Israel receives new list from Hamas of women and children it hopes to be released as part of future truce deal

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed on Thursday that Hamas had sent a new list of women and children it wished to be released as part of a future truce deal. 

“A short while ago, Israel received a list of women and children, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and therefore, the pause will resume,” the statement said.

Earlier on Thursday, Hamas said Israel refused an offer to receive seven women and children detained and the bodies of three Israelis who they said had died during Israel’s bombardment of Gaza in return for an extension of the truce.

Israel and Hamas both confirmed the pause in fighting would extend for another day as talks for the release of more hostages continued. The announcement came minutes before the truce was due to expire.
