Sudthisak Rinthalak

Sudthisak Rinthalak was a Thai national working in Israel to support his family when he was killed during a series of attacks on Israeli targets in Gaza on October 7, 2023. His body was initially recovered and later returned to Israel, with the remains of all but one other hostage being recovered since then. Recently, Israel received a coffin believed to contain the remains of one of the last two deceased hostages, bringing the number of recovered bodies to nine. The ongoing recovery efforts have brought attention to Rinthalak's story and the impact of the attacks on his family and community in Thailand. As the last hostage from Thailand is accounted for, Rinthalak's case highlights the human cost of the conflict and the efforts being made to bring closure to families affected by the violence.
