Israel says it has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage kidnapped into Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, as it continues its military offensive across the strip. The office of Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi“ Netanyahu said Saturday that the body of Thai citizen, Nattapong Pinta was returned to Israel in a special military operation. Pinta was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz and killed in captivity near the start of the war, the government said. This comes two days after the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages were retrieved. Fifty-five hostages remain in Gaza, of whom Israel says more than half are dead. The defense minister said Saturday that Pinta’s body was retrieved from the Rafah area. He had come to Israel from Thailand to work in agriculture. The army said he was taken into Gaza by the Mujahideen Brigades, the small armed group that it said had also abducted and killed Shiri Bibas and her two small children. It’s also the same group that took the two Israeli-American hostages, Judi Weinstein and Gad Haggai, whose bodies were retrieved by the army Thursday. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX!
