At least eight of the initial group of hostages due to be released by Hamas are dead, according to new reports Monday.

According to a Hamas official, the terror group handed over a list overnight with 33 names scheduled to be released as part of the cease-fire deal with Israel. Shockingly, only 25 individuals were confirmed to be alive.

A source familiar with the ceasefire deal told the Telegraph that the eight hostages unaccounted for on the list were dead.

The sparse list didn’t divulge the wellbeing or names of the hostages, according to the report.

It comes amid reports that Israel has already warned some of the hostages’ families that there is “grave concerns” for their lives.

One family, including Shiri Bibas, her husband Yarden, and their two young sons Ariel and Kfir, are anxiously waiting for information about their loved ones who were taken hostage.

“There is no difference between what we knew yesterday and what we know today,” Yarden’s sister Ofri Bibas said, according to the Times of Israel.

“We have known that there is grave fear for their lives since Hamas’s announcement at the end of the previous deal.”

Recently, four female Israeli soldiers who were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from a southern military base were successfully freed on Saturday as part of the ongoing hostage swap under the cease-fire agreement.

Karina Ariev, 20; Daniella Gilboa, 20; Naama Levy, 20; and Liri Albag, 19, were all received by the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza City.

During the exchange, Hamas brought the four women onto a stage where they smiled and waved as they were surrounded by cheering onlookers and a slew of gun-toting terrorists.

Their release came six days after Israel received the first three hostages released after the initial phase of the deal went into effect — bringing fighting in the brutal 15-month war to a halt.
