Tiw Nakhonpen, 25, made the decision to use Facebook in an effort to get government assistance for him and at least 100 different Thai laborers in Israel who were caught up in Hamas strikes coming from the Gaza Strip.

This Udon Thani-born laborer was reportedly staying in a inventory with his coworkers, according to Jakkraphong Seankham, an MP for the city and local writers.

The inventory in Netivot, a southern area, was only two kilometers away from the Gaza Strip, which made matters worse.

This indicated that on the day of the attacks, missiles rained down and exploded outside, leaving them broad awake and frightened.

Tiw, a local of Ban Dong Yang of tambon Jom Sri in the Phen area, said that everyone in their party was immediately prepared to escape.

Yet, no one was able to get in touch with any Jewish personnel who could assist them in escaping, including the Royal Thai Embassy in Tel Aviv.

Tiw made the decision to upload a video clip to his Facebook asking for assistance from the government and being saved because he believed that jihadists could kill them at any time.

We only came to Israel for work and money, but we are now discouraged by the battle. Also the debt we left on in Thailand doesn’t matter to us.

” Just like in the movies, the jihadists killed all they saw.” They killed more Thai people, and the amount was higher than what you’ve seen in the media. We need to be saved, and I’m now accepting offers of assistance on my Facebook accounts, said Tiw.

At least 18 Thais were reportedly killed in Hamas’ invasion as of Tuesday, and the militants are said to have kidnapped 11 more.

The state has been asked to return the 3, 000 additional Thais to Thailand.

Some people are still unable to reach concerned community members. One of those who was unaware of the whereabouts of both of his brothers, Apichart, 29, and Phongthep, 26, was Rampoei Kusaram, 62, from tambon Non-That in Khon Kean’s Nong Song Hong area.

He claimed that prior to the season’s drama, he had been in regular contact with both of his siblings, who both worked on farms in Israel.

The siblings, along with two different laborers, have not yet been heard from, despite the fact that four different Thai residents of the same neighborhood have spoken to their families.

According to Atsuek Chanahan, acting chairman of Nakhon Ratchasima’s Office of Employment, the Labour Ministry has helped establish a Line implementation team to inform Israeli workers and their families as well as give them more contact information.

According to Mr. Atsuek, the party talk now had more than 130 participants, and many of the workers expressed a desire to go back to Thailand because they felt safe. He continued,” Over 1, 000 visitors from the county work in the southern district close to the Gaza Strip, and 2, 163 in total are already employed in Israel.”
