The deal came after an Israeli offer to continue the cease-fire by one day for every additional 10 hostages released, who would be exchanged for 30 Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
Hamas said it had received a list of three women and 30 minors that Israel would release in return on Monday.
Dozens of Israeli soldiers as well as civilian Israeli men in their 70s and 80s are still being held captive in Gaza.
The official said Hamas has said that in those cases, the mothers are being held by different groups, and it would take time to get them.
Late Monday, Israel’s Army Radio, citing the prime minister’s office, reported that the government had received a list of hostages held by Hamas who are expected to be released on Tuesday.
