In Memoriam of:
Sonthaya Oakkharasri
Age: 31
From: Thailand
In Loving Memory of the Innocent Souls Taken Too Soon. United in peace, their light shines on in the hearts left behind. October 7, 2023, a day of sorrow, but their memories guide us toward a hopeful tomorrow.
Sonthaya Oakkharasri, a Thai national who was working at Kibbutz Be’eri, was murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7 and his body abducted to Gaza, where it is still being held hostage. His family was notified of his death on May 17, 2024 after a prolonged intelligence investigation. Sonthaya, the father of a seven-year-old daughter, would have celebrated his 31st birthday on May 17. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sends its sincere condolences to the family, the government and people of Thailand.
