The body of a Thai hostage, Nattapong Pinta, who was abducted alive during the October 7 attacks was recovered from southern Gaza in a military operation on Friday, according to a statement from the Israeli military and the Shin Bet security service.

Pinta was one of 31 Thai farmworkers abducted on Oct. 7 from kibbutzes where they were part of a robust immigrant workforce assisting on Israeli farms; he had been working on Kibbutz Nir Oz, where 47 people were killed and 76 taken hostages.
