The bodies of two Thai men, killed yesterday by Hamas rockets in the southern Israeli region of Eshkol, will be sent home to Thailand, while the other eight wounded Thai workers have been hospitalized, with some already discharged, according to Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) today.

 

The Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv has coordinated with Thailand’s provincial labour authorities to notify the families of the deceased and the wounded, two of whom were seriously injured, and will proceed with repatriating the bodies to Thailand. Compensation and benefits, to which the victims or their families are entitled, will be arranged by the National Insurance Institute, said MFA Spokesperson Tanee Sangrat.

 

Calling the attack “the most serious impact on Thai workers in Israel since the Israel-Palestine conflict erupted,” Mr. Thani said the eight wounded Thais were admitted to a hospital in the city of Beer Sheva, with those who have recovered being discharged, and that the Thai ambassador has been in contact with the injured.

Better to pull all Thai's from Israel as it is not getting better. Maybe if Biden stops giving money to Hamas they will run out of rockets.

I think Israel is not the one that need foreign money.

This was inevitable following Biden becoming president. As with most of what he does he's hopelessly compromised on this issue.

It's the number one recipient of money from the US, by far.
