Israel due to set free Palestinian prisoners
The deal - mediated by Qatar - includes a four-day pause in the fighting.
The detainees are accused of a range of offences, from throwing stones to attempted murder.
Red Cross buses are reported to have arrived at Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank ready to release the 24 women and 15 teenage boys aged under 18.
They will be transferred to an Israeli military checkpoint in the West Bank and then allowed to return home, according to Israel's prison service.
The detainees were chosen from a list of 300 women and minors compiled by Israel.
Less than a quarter of those on the list have been convicted - the vast majority are being held on remand while awaiting trial. Most of those listed are teenage boys - 40% of them under the age of 18. There is also one teenage girl and 32 women.
