The looming ceasefire in the Gaza Strip will last six weeks, with Hamas releasing three hostages every week, according to Reuters.

Hamas will release female hostages and those under 19 years old first, followed by men over 50.

Israel will release thirty Palestinian prisoners for each hostage released and fifty for each Israeli female soldier.

Hamas will release a total of 33 hostages during the first phase, including all women (including soldiers), children, and men over 50.
