Israel has published a list comprising the names of a total of 300 Palestinians who could be released in the agreement with Hamas, should the truce outlive the four-day period.
Among them are 33 women and 267 children and youths aged 19 and under. The list also includes 49 Hamas members, AFP reports.
Palestinian prisoners will be released from three jails in Israel and the occupied West Bank, then taken to the Ofer military camp on buses, an Israeli official told AFP on condition of anonymity, adding that they were expected to be freed in the evening.
Most are from the West Bank but five are from the Gaza Strip.
However, families of the prisoners told Al Jazeera that they are yet to hear from Israeli authorities regarding the release.
One person Al Jazeera spoke to, a mother, whose daughter is expected to be released as part of this deal said that all of the power of who gets out and when they get out still remains in Israeli hands.
