Israeli doctors say the five released Thai hostages are in 'fair' health after being held captive in the Gaza Strip for over a year. The hostages, who were kidnapped by Hamas militants, will undergo medical tests and recuperation at a hospital outside Tel Aviv. The Thai government expressed gratitude to several countries for their assistance in negotiating the release of the hostages. Israel plans to recognize the released Thai hostages as terror victims, entitling them to financial benefits and healthcare.
