The body of a Thai hostage, Nattapong Pinta, who was abducted alive during the October 7 attacks was recovered from southern Gaza in a military operation on Friday, according to a statement from the Israeli military and the Shin Bet security service.

Nattapong Pinta was taken hostage and later killed by members of a small militant group in Gaza, the Israeli military said.

"We will not rest or be silent until we return all of our hostages home - both the living and the dead," the PMO said in a statement.
