A Hmong woman from Chiang Rai made a desperate plea to the authorities, seeking assistance in the search for her husband who was taken captive during a Hamas raid in Israel. The 28 year old woman, Suntree Saelee, lost all communication with her 26 year old husband, Kong Saelao, amidst the chaos and violence which kicked off on October 7.

 

The incident took place in an avocado orchard in Khirbet Mador, located roughly 3 kilometres away from the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory.

 

The orchard served as a worker’s camp, and it was during the Hamas raid that Saelao was reportedly seized. A coworker who managed to evade capture provided Saelee with disturbing visual evidence of the abduction, showing Saelao held in a headlock and hauled away by men in military attire.

“When I saw the picture and the clip, I knew it was him. I am concerned for his safety. Please help him. ”

That guy knows how to do his chokes.  Nice.

It's okay, because the Thai government is neutral and says Thais are not being targeted.
