A list of 34 Israelis provided by Hamas for release as part of a hostage deal with Israel includes young children, 10 women and 11 men aged between 50 and 85, the BBC report. The broadcaster claims a senior Hamas official shared a provisional list of 34 hostages that the group says it is willing to release. It is unclear how many of the about 250 hostages taken on October 7, 2023, remain alive. Several that Hamas says are sick are also on the list, said the report. However, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied reports that Hamas provided Israel with a list of hostages.
