It's been reported Irish-Israeli girl Emily Hand is among those to be released.
The existence of a list of hostages to be released by Hamas which included Emily Hand's name has been debunked by the Israeli Prime Minister's office.
The 9-year-old Irish-Israeli girl is believed to have been held captive by the group in Gaza since early October.
It's part of a deal to release hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israel - as well as a pause in fighting to allow aid into Gaza.
Journalist Hannah McCarthy says there's doubts over the legitimacy of the list of hostages:
An Ireland-South MEP says he's hopeful for the safe return of Irish-Israeli girl Emily Hand.
Israel and Hamas have agreed a four-day pause in fighting - which will allow dozens of hostages to be released.
Fine Gael MEP Sean Kelly says he'd like to see her brought home so she can resume living a normal life:
