The five Thai hostages released last week from Hamas captivity reunited with their families after nearly 500 days apart
Israel National News: The five released Thai hostages landed Sunday morning in Bangkok, and reunited with their families after over a year in Hamas captivity.
Thenna Pongsak, Sathian Suwannakham, Sriaoun Watchara, Seathao Bannawat, and Rumnao Surasak were released from Hamas captivity on January 30 and taken to the Assaf Harofeh hospital in Israel. They were released from the hospital on Saturday, and the hospital said that their condition was "infinitely improved."
They will continue to receive medical treatment in Thailand, and Israel is expected to continue following them and providing funds for their rehabilitation, as the Israeli government has done for the other released hostages. The five were also granted Israeli residency status by Interior Minister Moshe Arbel.
