Israel says it has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage kidnapped into Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. The Prime Minister’s office said that the body of Thai citizen Nattapong Pinta was returned to Israel in a special military operation.

It was recently revealed that Israel is arming the Abu Shabab militia in order to assist it in the war against Hamas, with Netanyahu saying, 'What's wrong with that?'

Israel said it had retrieved the body of Nattapong Pinta, who was abducted during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war. He had come to Israel to work in agriculture.

Israel has recovered the body of Thai agricultural worker Nattapong Pinta, abducted by militants during the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz and killed in captivity, officials said Saturday. The operation came amid continuing Israeli strikes across Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel has "operated clans" in Gaza in a video published on social media Thursday after an opposition leader accused him of arming Palestinian militias in order to bolster opposition to Hamas.
