"Ninety prisoners will be released tomorrow in exchange for the three Israeli detainees, nine of whom are serving life sentences and 81 of whom have long sentences," Palestinian Prisoners' Club spokeswoman Amani Sarahneh told AFP on Friday.
Hamas earlier released the names of three Israeli captives due to be freed on Saturday: Ofer Calderon, 54, Keith Siegel, 65, and Yarden Bibas, 35.
Israeli officials said that the families had been notified and that Israel accepted the Hamas list. The Israeli Hostage and Missing Families Forum confirmed the names of the captives set to be released, noting that two of them also hold foreign nationalities.
In addition to holding Israeli citizenship, Keith Siegel has US citizenship, and Ofer Calderon holds French nationality.
