💨 Abstract

On June 7, 2025, Israel announced that it had recovered the body of a Thai hostage, Nattapong Pinta, who was kidnapped and killed in Gaza in 2023. Thais were the largest group of foreigners held captive by Hamas. This retrieval follows the recovery of two Israeli-American hostages' bodies and leaves 55 hostages still in Gaza, with over half believed to be deceased.
