Second to last hostage identified

The remains of the penultimate hostage in Gaza have been identified, the Israeli military announced.

This concerns the Thai Sudthisak Rinthalak, who was taken hostage on October 7, 2023. This leaves only one hostage remaining in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Ran Gvili.

The recovered body was found in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza on Wednesday and identified early Thursday.

Thai officials confirmed that they had been informed of the matter by Israeli authorities, according to the AP news agency. Sudthisak Rinthalak's family has also been informed, according to the Foreign Ministry in Bangkok.
