Israeli murdered on Koh Phangan island in Thailand
An Israeli citizen was murdered on Koh Phangan island in Thailand. His identity has not yet been released. The motive is unclear, but the possibility of a nationalist background is being examined.

An Israeli citizen was murdered this evening (Wednesday) on Koh Phangan island in Thailand. The identity of the victim has not yet been released for publication. The motive for the murder is still unclear, but among other possibilities, the possibility that it was a nationalist-motivated murder is being examined. For now, there are no further details. The incident occurs against the backdrop of a severe incident that occurred on the same island last August, when an Israeli mother and her daughter were brutally attacked. The attacker, a man who identified them as Israelis, beat them, causing them serious injuries and hospitalization. The motive for that attack was anti-Semitic. The Thai police then arrested the suspect, a holder of a French passport.
