        Israeli army radio said on Friday that 11 prisoners from Hamas will be released instead of 11 prisoners affiliated with Fatah as part of the Gaza agreement, saying there had been a "last minute" change in those who would be freed.
Hamas is expected to release the 20 alive Israeli hostages together, 72 hours after the start of the ceasefire.
