[1/9] A vehicle carrying hostages released as part of a deal between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, drives by, in Ofakim, Israel, November 30, 2023.
Israel, according to the reports, is demanding at least 10 hostages be released on Thursday, with women and children prioritised.
Fighters should "remain on such footing unless an official statement is issued confirming the extension of the truce," the statement added.
Two Palestinian officials earlier told Reuters that talks were continuing over a possible extension of the truce, but no agreement had yet been reached.
Hamas released 16 more hostages on Wednesday, the final day of a two-day extension to the truce.
