A dispute over hostile intelligence has erupted between the warring parties in Gaza on the eve of a newly negotiated ceasefire, it was reported on Saturday.
According to Israeli sources, the Palestinian Islamist Hamas militia has not yet provided a list of the names of the three hostages who are to be released to Israel on Sunday.
“Israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Without the list of names, Israel would not continue to implement the agreement ratified by its government early Saturday, he warned.
Hamas sources said the militia would send the list with the names of the three hostages in the next few hours.
Under the agreement, Hamas must inform Israel 24 hours in advance of the names of the guards to be handed over. Three civilian women kidnapped from Israel are to be released first, Israeli media reported.
