Israel has retrieved the body of a Thai national taken hostage during the Hamas-led attack in October 2023, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says.
He said the body of Nattapong Pinta was retrieved during a special operation in the Rafah area of southern Gaza on Friday. The 35-year-old was working as an agricultural labourer in southern Israel when he was kidnapped.
Mr Nattapong is likely to have been killed during his first months of captivity, an Israeli military official said. Before the operation, it was not known whether he was dead or alive.
It comes after the Israeli army recovered the bodies of two Israeli Americans in Gaza earlier this week.
Mr Nattapong was the married father of a young son, the military official said. He had been working at Kibbutz Nir Oz to support his family in Thailand when he was captured by a militant group called the Mujahideen Brigades.
The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that the mission to recover his body was launched following information from the interrogation of a "captured terrorist".
After reports of his recovery on Saturday, the BBC tried to reach out to Mr Nattapong's wife. She did not answer the call but texted back with a picture of her son crying.
...
Mr Nattapong is believed to be the last remaining Thai national abducted during the 7 October 2023 attack. Five Thai hostages were released during a ceasefire earlier this year - all of them alive.
The Israeli army retrieved the bodies of an elderly couple, Judy and Gadi Haggai, in the Gazan city of Khan Younis on Thursday.
The couple were killed at the same kibbutz and their bodies were also held by the Mujahideen Brigades, according to the IDF.

Historically, when Israeli citizens were taken hostage, Israel responded with full force to eliminate those responsible for the taking of the hostages. If hostages died it did not matter for all of the hostage takers would certainly die.
Israel changed that policy and hostages still die while hostage takers still live. Wow, what a concept!!
Great that IDF has been able to find and free some of the Fakestinians’ kidnap victims and bodies of those the fakestinians murdered. We need many more bodies — of Fakestinian terrorists. Many many more. To put an end to the Satanic Fekestinian terror once and for all.
Oh I think Israel if on the trail of all the hostage takers. They frequently post pictures and lineages of terrorists eliminated who took part in particular events.
These are only two of the many targeted eliminations
All 4 Hamas terrorists who kidnapped and murdered Shani Louk were eliminated by the IDF - 4 November 2024
IDF and the Shin Bet security agency eliminated Mohammed Hassan Mohammed Awad, in a strike in northern Gaza. Awad was the commander behind the abduction of Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel Bibas and was reportedly also involved in their murders.
It takes time but Israel is patient.
Wait, so he was kidnapped in Thailand and brought to Israel by some group and was kidnapped by Hamas?
Another couple.
ELIMINATED: As’ad Abu Sharaiya, head of the Mujahideen terrorist organization in Gaza, and an additional Mujahideen terrorist Mahmoud Muhammad Hamid Kuhail, were eliminated earlier today in a joint IDF & ISA operation.
The terrorists infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7, 2023. Abu Sharaiya was one of the leaders of the massacre and was directly involved in the abduction & murder of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, Nattapong Pinta and an additional foreign national who is still held captive by the terrorist organization and in the abduction of the couple Gad and Judi Haggai.
The IDF and ISA will continue to operate to locate & eliminate all terrorists who took part in the October 7 Massacre and were involved in holding Israeli hostages captive in Gaza.
he was probably one of these:
1. working in Israel
2. vacationing, tourist in Israel
3. student in Israel
there are lots of all 3
30,000 Thai workers in Israel. On Oct. 7, 29 murdered and 23 kidnapped.
