Three Thai workers in Israel have been injured, two critically, as a result of fighting near Palestine's Gaza Strip, Thai Labour Minister Phadermchai Sasomsub said Thursday.
Phadermchai said that he was informed by the Thai Embassy in Israel that the latest fighting between Israeli forces and the Palestinian militant group Hamas at 7am Israeli time injured three Thai workers.
The Thais were working in a farm area when the fighting erupted. Two of them were seriously injured and all three were sent to hospital for treatment. They could be initially identified only by their first names: Suchan, Somsak and Sawat.
Phadermchai said he had asked the Thai ambassador to Israel to take care of the three workers.
