Israel says it retrieved the body of a Thai hostage taken to Gaza when the war beganNew Foto - Israel says it retrieved the body of a Thai hostage taken to Gaza when the war began

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel said Saturday it had retrieved the body of a Thai hostage abducted intoGazaduring the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war, as it continued its military offensive, killing at least 95 people in the past 24 hours, according to Gaza's health ministry. The prime minister's office said Nattapong Pinta's body was returned to Israel in a special military operation. Pinta was seized from Kibbutz Nir Oz and killed early in the war, the government said. Thailand's foreign ministry in a statement confirmed that the last Thai hostage in Gaza was confirmed dead. It said the bodies of two others are yet to be retrieved. The news came two days after the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages were retrieved.Fifty-five hostages remainin Gaza, and Israel says more than half are dead. Israel's defense minister said Pinta's body was retrieved from the Rafah area in southern Gaza. He had come to Israel to work in agriculture. The army said he was seized by the Mujahideen Brigades, the small armed group that it said also abducted and killedShiri Bibas and her two small children. The same group took the two Israeli-American hostages, Judih Weinstein and Gad Haggai, whose bodies were retrieved Thursday. Thais were the largest group of foreigners held captive by Hamas militants. Many of theagricultural workerslived in compounds on the outskirts of southern Israeli kibbutzim and towns, and Hamas militants overran those places first. A total of 46 Thais have been killed during the conflict, according to Thailand's foreign ministry. Separately, Hamas issued an unusual warning about another hostage, Matan Zangauker, saying Israel's military had surrounded the area where he is held and that any harm to him during a rescue attempt would be Israel's responsibility. Israel continues its military offensive Israel continued its military offensive across Gaza. Four strikes hit the Muwasi area in southern Gaza between Rafah and Khan Younis. In northern Gaza, one strike hit an apartment, killing seven people including a mother and five children. Their bodies were taken to Shifa hospital "Stand up, my love," one weeping woman said, touching the shrouded bodies. Another strike in Gaza City killed six members of a family, including two children, according to the Shifa and al-Ahli hospitals. Israel said it was responding to Hamas' "barbaric attacks" and dismantling its capabilities. It said it takes all feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm. Reports say some of the dead were trying to get food aid Staff at Nasser hospital, where six of the bodies over the past 24 hours were taken, said they were killed while on their way to get food aid. Much of Gaza's population of over 2 million now relies on such aid after widespread destruction of agriculture and markets as well as a recent Israeli blockade of two and a half months. Experts have warned of famine in the territory. Israel's army said that despite warnings that the distribution area is an active combat zone during nighttime hours, several suspects attempted to approach troops operating in the Tel al-Sultan area overnight "in a manner that posed a threat to the troops." The army said troops called out, but as the suspects continued advancing, they fired warning shots. An army official who couldn't be named in line with military procedures said the shots were fired about one kilometer (half a mile) from the aid distribution site. Shootings have occurred frequently near thenew hubswhere thousands of desperate Palestinians are being directed to collect food. The hubs are run by theGaza Humanitarian Foundation, a new group of mainly American contractors. Israel wants the GHF to replace humanitarian groups in Gaza that distribute aid in coordination with the United Nations. Israel accuses Hamas of siphoning off aid under the U.N.-led system. The U.N. and aid groups deny there is significant diversion of aid to militants and say the new system —which they have rejected— allows Israel to use food as a weapon, violates humanitarian principles and won't be effective. It was unclear if the GHF sites opened on Saturday. Separately, Palestinians lined up at a soup kitchen in Gaza City for handouts on the second day ofEid al-Adha. "I have been standing here for more than an hour and a half. I feel I have a sunstroke, and I am in need," said the waiting Farida al-Sayed, who said she had six people to feed. "I only had lentils, and I ran out of them." Death tolls since the war began Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the October 2023 attack and abducted 251 hostages. Most were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israeli forces have rescued eight living hostages and recovered dozens of bodies. Israel's military campaign has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's health ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. The offensive has destroyed large parts of Gaza and displaced around 90% of its population of roughly 2 million Palestinians. ___ This story has been corrected to note that the previous bodies were recovered on Thursday, not Friday. ___ Jahjouh reported from Rafah, Gaza Strip.

Islam's holiest day is marred by grief and peril as Gaza marks Eid al-AdhaNew Foto - Islam's holiest day is marred by grief and peril as Gaza marks Eid al-Adha

Under the damaged dome of al-Albani Mosquein Khan Younis, families stood, some barefoot, on broken stone and dust, raising their voices in takbir to mark the first morning ofEid al-Adhaon Friday. In Gaza, the holiest of thetwo major Muslim holidaysis traditionally a time for communal worship, the sacrifice of lambs, and shared meals. Families gather around piles of bread baked on the saj and morsels of liver fresh from the slaughter. But this year in Khan Younis, there was no feast. No lambs to sacrifice. No smell of meat cooking, no joyful reunions. The celebration,stripped of its customs, pressed on in grief. "We don't eat meat, we don't eat liver, we are not happy like other times waiting for the Eid with joy," Eftarag Abou Sabaa told NBC News' team in Khan Younis. Rather than the ritual sacrifice of a lamb, Abou Sabaa said, "We sacrifice the blood of martyrs. We sacrifice our sons, our daughters, and our mothers; we sacrifice ourselves in a way that sets us apart from other people." That morning, crowds moved quietly to the Khan Younis cemetery to visit loved ones lost to the war, and greeted each other by the tombstones of children, parents, and friends. Only the buzz ofIsraeli drones overheadfilled the solemn silence. "This is not an Eid of joy; it is an Eid of mourning and death," Ahmed Darwish, displaced from Rafah to west Khan Younis, told NBC News as he stood beside the graves. "Our children and women are in pieces. Instead of sacrificing animals, we collected body parts this morning." On Eid, Israeli strikes continued as families wept by the bodies of their loved ones, killed before celebrations could begin. Reda Abdel Rahim Eljara told an NBC News team that Israeli air strikes had already killed her husband and one of her sons. On the first day of Eid al-Adha, she lost two more sons and her daughter-in-law. "Three months ago, on Eid al-Fitr, my son Qais got married," she told NBC News. "Today, on the main Eid, he is martyred with his wife." Umm Ahmad Al-Qatati said her son, Omar, 11, was shot as he left his tent to shower and get ready for a visit to see his father. "He was so excited for Eid morning, but they sent him to the morgue instead," she said. "Instead of celebrating Eid, he went to be with his Lord." The attacks continued into Saturday, the second day of Eid al-Adha. According to Gaza's health ministry, Israeli strikes had killed 95 people and injured more than 300 in the last 48 hours. Those for whom death had not come, trudged forward. At the ruins of al-Albani Mosque, Thaer al-Salmi, 14, continued to pray. "We try to find some joy by praying and wearing a few clothes to feel the Eid spirit," he said. "I hope this war ends, and that next Eid will be like it was two years ago — a real celebration without war."

Never-Before-Seen Letters From Iconic Rock Frontman Uncovered in New BookNew Foto - Never-Before-Seen Letters From Iconic Rock Frontman Uncovered in New Book

Never-Before-Seen Letters From Iconic Rock Frontman Uncovered in New Bookoriginally appeared onParade. A brand newPink Floydbiography is set to be released and it will include unearthed rare letters from the band's original frontman, the lateSyd Barrett. The new oral history — which will be the first about the group to be told by the band themselves alongside friends and collaborators supported by a wealth of completely new, unpublished findings — is said to include letters from Barrett to his then-girlfriend in 1965 and 1966. The letters, according toLouderSound.com, "reveal his intimate thoughts on the band, their very first recording session, his worries about leaving art college" and more. The biography is aptly titledPink Floyd Shine On: The Definitive Oral Historyand was penned by storied Pink Floyd biographerMark Blake. It will be available through New Modern on October 9. Blake also uncovers insights from unpublished interviews with current and former members of the band, includingNick Mason,Roger Waters,David Gilmour, and the lateRichard Wright, who was dismissed from the band in 1979. "I first saw Pink Floyd and their famous wall at Earls Court in 1980," Blake told the outlet in a statement. "It was an impressive piece of rock'n'roll theatre, made more impressive by the fact that I was fifteen years old. Over three decades later it's been a pleasure and a privilege to tell the group's story in their own words. My hope is that all readers – from the most committed super-fan to someone just discovering Pink Floyd's music – enjoy a compelling and immediate experience of one of the most important bands in the world." Barrett was asked to leave the band due to health problems and played with Floyd until 1968. He and Gilmour played in the band simultaneously for a few months after Gilmour joined in 1967.
