Israel Identifies Thai Hostage’s Remains, Leaving One Body Still Unaccounted From Oct. 7 Abductions

The identification narrows the search under the ceasefire handover to a single missing Israeli.

Overview

  • The Israeli military said it completed identification of Thai farm worker Sudthisak Rinthalak and notified his family, adding his body has been returned for burial.
  • Officials now count 27 of 28 agreed remains delivered under the truce, with only Israeli Ran Gvili still outstanding.
  • Israel said items received Tuesday via the Red Cross were unrelated to any remaining hostages after tests by the National Forensic Medicine Center.
  • Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad told AFP they exhumed other remains in Beit Lahia and would send a sample to Israel through the Red Cross, a claim not yet verified.
  • Families’ groups in Israel continue public rallies pressing for full accounting and return of all abducted and deceased.
