GAZA (Dispatches) – Al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, has published the names of the three Israeli captives who will be released on Saturday.
Chief of al-Qassam Brigades Abu Obeida made the announcement in a post on his telegram channel on Friday. 
He said Ofer Calderon, Keith Siegel and Yarden Bibas will be freed as part of a ceasefire deal between Hamas and the Zionist regime that ended the latter’s 15-month-long genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials said the families of the three captives have been notified.
A Palestinian advocacy group said that the occupying regime is to free 90 inmates on Saturday in exchange for three Israeli captives.
“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.
Israel launched its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, after Hamas carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
The Tel Aviv regime failed to achieve its declared objectives of freeing captives and eliminating Hamas despite killing almost 47,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza.
A public opinion poll released Friday showed that only 4% of Israelis believe the objectives of the Gaza war have been fully achieved, despite the return of hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza.
The Lazar Institute survey, which sampled 517 Israelis with a margin of error of 4.4%, was published by the Israeli daily Maariv.
When asked if Israel had met its goals in the Gaza war, 4% of respondents said the objectives had been fully achieved, 57% said they had not been fully realized, 32% believed the objectives had not been achieved at all, and 7% were unsure.
Regarding the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza, 31% of respondents saw it as a sign the war had ended, while 57% disagreed, and 12% were uncertain.
The poll also revealed that 36% of Israelis believe the ceasefire deal between the Zionist regime and Hamas will be fully implemented, while 36% think it will not be completed, and 28% were unsure.
The poll results come nearly two weeks after a ceasefire agreement in Gaza -- mediated by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar -- took effect on Jan. 19, 2025.
The Zionist regime’s war has killed more than 47,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and injured more than 111,000 since Oct. 7, 2023.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November 2024 for Netanyahu and his former war minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The Zionist regime also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over its actions in the enclave.
