#Thailand ’s labor minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said he had ordered the evacuation of all Thai #workers from the north of #Israel to the south, after four Thais were killed by rocket fire while working on farms near Israel’s border with Lebanon.

Maris Sangiampongsa, Thailand’s foreign minister, confirmed the deaths of four workers, and said another had been injured close to the town of Metula near the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Three Israelis were also killed in what was the deadliest cross-border strikes from #Lebanon since Israel launched its ground invasion.

The deaths, which follow the killing of another Thai worker in a mortar strike in October near the border with Lebanon, have prompted questions over why workers are being deployed to areas so close to the conflict.

The Hotline for #Refugees and #Migrants, an Israeli organisation that supports migrant workers, said authorities had put them in danger by allowing them to work along the border without proper protection.

Thai workers have been among the foreign nationals worst affected by the conflict. Before the war, about 30,000 Thai nationals were working in Israel, mostly in agricultural jobs, where the salaries offered are much higher than back home. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/nov/01/middle-east-crisis-live-netanyahu-says-ability-to-counter-threats-from-lebanon-key-to-any-ceasefire-deal?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-672466928f086f851f570906#block-672466928f086f851f570906

Scepticism and anticipation among Palestinians gathered near Ofer Prison | Charles Stratford (Reporting near Ofer prison, occupied West Bank)

[There are] hundreds if not thousands of people who have gathered on a hill overlooking the Ofer Prison in expectation of these 39 women and minors that are going to be – in theory – brought here by the Israelis on buses.
We’ve seen at least one bus leave one of those jails in northern Israel a few hours ago.

People have begun to light bonfires here, very excited about this prisoner-captive swap.

But there are so many questions that remain unanswered.

There are, as you can imagine, years of distrust [and] mistreatment at the hands of the Israeli military here in the occupied territories, so people are still sceptical as to whether this [release] could happen.

A dozen of the 26 #Thai nationals taken hostage by #Hamas in the 7 October attacks in #Israel have been released, #Thailand’s prime minister has said.

#SretthaThavisin said on X he had received confirmation of their release, and that Thai embassy officials were going to pick them up. “[We] will know more information in an hour,” he said on Friday evening.

I was surprised Hamas was willing to release so many (70) hostages in one go. Turns out 25 are Thais, they'll hold on to the ones belonging to nations seen as hostile or unsympathetic to their cause as long as possible. #Thailand #Israel

Thai Muslim politicians said they had received assurances from #Hamas that all of the Thai hostages being held would be among those released if mediators succeed in brokering a truce in #Gaza, Reuters reports.
