The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have found the body of Thai hostage Natapong Pinte, who was held captive by Hamas. The body was located in the southern Gaza Strip, with the location revealed through intelligence obtained during the interrogation of a Palestinian terrorist operative. Natapong was kidnapped during the Hamas attack on October 7 and is believed to have been killed during captivity in the early months of the war. The Israeli military continues to investigate the circumstances of his death. Similar reports have emerged about the discovery of bodies of other hostages and Hamas leaders, while the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues.
