The body of Thai agricultural worker Nattapong Pinta has been recovered from the Rafah area after a military operation, Israeli authorities said Saturday.

The Israeli military has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage who had been held in Gaza since Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Saturday, as Israeli airstrikes killed 55 people,

The group is carrying supplies for Gazan Palestinians and protesting what they say is “Israel’s “illegal, decades-long blockade, and ongoing genocide” in the enclave.

A CNN investigation into a deadly incident near an aid distribution site in southern Gaza on Sunday points to the Israeli military opening fire on crowds of Palestinians as they tried to make their way to the fenced enclosure to get food.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the deaths of three soldiers whose Humvee was hit by an explosive device in northern Gaza. After more than 600 days, 58 hostages remain in Hamas' hands.

The Hamas headquarters under the European Hospital was one of the central command centers for planning the October 7 invasion, Effie Defrin said in Khan Yunis.

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.
