webfact Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 A 28 year old woman, Supattra Asanok, of Nong Song Hong District, Khon Kaen, revealed a shocking incident involving her 26 year old husband, Phadung Butmo. Phadung, originally from Kham Mueang District, Khon Kaen, currently works as an agricultural goods truck driver in Israel. He was shot in the back and right buttock during a Hamas attack on Israel. He sent pictures of himself holding war ammunition and images of soldiers protecting the labour camp to his wife before losing contact. His condition is currently unknown. Supattra said that her husband has been working in Israel for a year and five months in a five-year employment contract. Ever since he started working in Israel, he had been in touch every day, sending money home every month for his wife to build their home. He never complained about his living conditions or other troubles, only assuring that he was working hard to provide for the family. by Samantha Rose Photo: Sanook Full story: The Thaiger 2023-10-09 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Not completely about Israel or Thailand ... but that is how I felt when I was gainfully employed and had to work in certain parts of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, or in Newark New Jersey. I am now retired and no longer have to work in those cities. Since certain political party politicians are in control of Philadelphia, which is about 35 minute drive from where I live and I still have to go there on occasion, Philadelphia is more dangerous than it was before. That political party supports hamas and the palastinians, and have disparaged Israel many times in the past, perhaps they are cheerleading (in private you know) what is now happening in Israel!

radiochaser Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I am seeing reports on youtube news channels that more than 1000 are dead from the hamas terror attacks. I read someplace on the inter web that, if you compare the number of people living in Israel to the number of people living in the United States, then, 20 dead in Israel is equivalent to 1000 dead in the United States! If true, then the equivalent death toll in a country with a population the size of the United States, from a terror attack, would be 50,000 dead! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not a first, plus many times workers come from the same area. I think at some level they are aware of the danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
