Israel’s defence minister has said that Israeli forces retrieved from the Gaza Strip the body of a Thai national taken hostage during Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack, sparking the devastating Israeli onslaught in Gaza, AFP reports.
Minister Israel Katz said in a statement that “following a special operation” in the Rafah area of southern Gaza, the body of Nattapong Pinta, “who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, was returned to Israel”.
