Israel's cabinet has approved a deal with Hamas to secure the release of 50 of the estimated 240 hostages being held in Gaza.
The hostages set for release under the terms of the agreement will be women and children who will be freed over the course of a four-day pause in fighting. No one has been freed under this deal yet.
The deal also states that for each extra day of a pause in fighting, a further 10 hostages will be released.
Hamas says as part of the agreement, 150 Palestinian women and children being held in Israeli jails will be released.
Prior to the deal, four hostages were released, and another was freed by Israeli forces. Ori Megidish, an Israeli solider, was freed during ground operations in Gaza on 29 October. Two women, Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifschitz, were freed on Monday 24 October. On Friday 20 October, two US hostages - a mother and daughter - were also freed.
Hamas says it has hidden the hostages in "safe places and tunnels" within Gaza. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have previously said the hostages include 20 children, and between 10 and 20 over-60s.
The IDF have notified some families that their loved ones are being held hostage, while other families - whose relatives remain unaccounted for - believe they have been taken.
These are the stories of hostages taken from Israel on 7 October which have been either confirmed by the BBC or credibly reported.
This list is regularly updated and names may change, as some people feared kidnapped are confirmed to have been killed or released.
