The other two hostages are 31-year-old Doron Steinbrecher, who was also taken from her home in the same kibbutz in southern Israel as Ms Damari, and Romi Gonen, 24, who was abducted from a music festival. Hamas said on Sunday it had handed the names of the three female hostages over to mediators of the ceasefire, and was expecting a list from Israel of the 90 Palestinian prisoners - including women and children - to be released on Sunday in exchange.
