Palestinian militant group Hamas has approved a list of 34 hostages presented by Israel to be exchanged in a possible ceasefire deal, a group official told Reuters on Sunday.

Israel and Hamas wrangled on Sunday over the details of a deal to halt fighting in the Gaza Strip and return hostages home, as Palestinian officials said intensified Israeli bombardments had killed more than 100 people over the weekend.

The strike hit a tent in an Israeli-declared humanitarian zone known as Muwasi, where thousands of displaced people are sheltering.

"Israel has not received any confirmation or comment by Hamas" on the hostages listed in the reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said.

Liri Albag, 19, is one of about 100 hostages believed to remain held in the enclave nearly 15 months after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel.

“As yet, Israel has not received any confirmation or comment by Hamas regarding the status of the hostages appearing on the list,” he said. “Israel will continue to act relentlessly for the return of all of our hostages.” At least two of the 34 people are dead, a Hamas official said.
