Channel 12 reports that a Thai hostage released in January had his teeth broken by Hamas during captivity. He is receiving treatment at Shamir Medical Center, with ongoing dental care funded by Israel. Additionally, the five released Thais will receive a monthly stipend of NIS 9,000 after returning home.
A recent report from Channel 12 reveals that a Thai hostage released in a ceasefire deal with Hamas suffered broken teeth due to a weapon assault by terrorists during his captivity. This individual was among several hostages freed in late January and was subsequently treated at the Shamir Medical Center in Be’er Yaakov following his return. The Israeli government has committed to covering the costs of his dental treatment in Thailand.
In total, five Thai nationals—Thenna Pongsak (36), Sathian Suwannakham (35), Sriaoun Watchara (33), Seathao Bannawat (27), and Rumnao Surasak (32)—were released alongside two Israeli hostages and an IDF observer. Channel 12 indicated that each of the returning Thai nationals would receive a monthly stipend of NIS 9,000 as part of their support process after returning home.
The report highlights the physical and psychological toll on hostages held by Hamas, emphasizing the repercussions as medical treatment and ongoing financial support are extended to the released individuals. The government’s initiative underlines a commitment to aiding hostages after their release, ensuring they receive necessary care and resources upon returning to Thailand.
