Panidone Pachimsawat, the ministry’s deputy spokesman, on Thursday quoted the Thai embassy in Tel Aviv as reporting that the Thai farm worker was killed late Wednesday night. According to local media reports, the Iranian strikes using cluster munition missiles took place in the Sharon area, just north of Tel Aviv. The government extended condolences to the family and is working out full compensation with Israel, Mr Panidone said. Israel has also been heavily attacking positions held by Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, resulting in hundreds of fatalities and injuries, he said.
