A Thai man revealed how he survived having his throat slit by a member of the Hamas group in Israel. He arrived home in Thailand yesterday, October 19, and was immediately reunited with his family for the first time in four years after moving to Israel to work.

 

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) evacuated 136 Thais from Israel, arriving at Don Mueang International Airport at 2pm yesterday. Family members and a number of Thai people were waiting at the airport to welcome the group back home. The authorities prepared four buses to take each Thai back to their home provinces.

 

The 34 year old Thai man, Wittawat “Jack” Kunlawong, was the very last person to leave the gate to meet his family. Jack had a severe cut to his throat and had to undergo several health checks after boarding.

Jack’s 27 year old wife, Wassana Pimsuwan, and the couple’s five year old daughter Manao were waiting for him at the airport. They hugged each other and cried with joy. It was the first time they had seen each other since Jack left for Israel four years ago.

Whatever went through your head when penning that witticism must have travelled very quickly, uninterrupted by any matter between those ears  🧠

Or he really liked it there.

He can thank an incompetent terrorist for his good fortune. Great news that he survived.

Average Hamas terrorist wearing jeans, a T. shirt with a mobile phone in one hand and a knife in the other.

His daughter is cute, she must be happy having a dad rather than a face on Line.
