Israel military retrieves Thai hostage’s body from Gaza

The Israeli military has retrieved the body of Thai hostage Nattapong Pinta, who had been held in Gaza since ******’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, Defence Minister Israel Katz says.

Pinta’s body was held by a ************ militant group called the Mujahedeen Brigades, and was retrieved from the area of Rafah in southern Gaza, Katz said.

His family in Thailand has been notified.

Pinta, an agricultural worker, was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz, a small community near the border, where one in four people was killed or taken hostage during the ******-led 2023 attack that triggered the devastating war in Gaza.

The Israeli military said Pinta had been abducted alive and killed by his captors, who had also killed and taken to Gaza the bodies of two more Israeli-American hostages that were retrieved this week.

There was no immediate comment from the militant group.

******-led militants killed 1200 people in Israel in the 2023 attack, Israel’s deadliest day, and took 251 hostages, 55 of whom remain in Gaza.

Twenty hostages are believed to still be alive, according to Israeli authorities.

Israel responded to the ****** attacks with a military campaign that has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities in the ******-run strip, and left much of the enclave in ruins, with a population of more than two million people largely displaced.
