Dramatic footage from the attack in southern Thailand shows armed individuals arriving on motorcycles and a car and opening fire, according to Israeli media reports. The attack, in which five Thai soldiers were killed and six wounded, was previously reported by The Zioneer.
New footage released earlier today shows armed attackers arriving on motorcycles and a car and opening fire at a military post in southern Thailand, providing the first visual documentation of the assault. The attack, which The Zioneer has tracked since initial reports on Thursday morning, left five Thai soldiers dead and six wounded, including a child.
The Zioneer's first report at 08:56 Jerusalem, citing N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, described at least five security personnel killed and six civilians wounded, including children, in a checkpoint attack in Narathiwat province. Attackers—about ten gunmen in black—used military weapons and pipe bombs, stole weapons from the scene, and fled. Subsequent reports from the same hour identified the perpetrators as the National Revolutionary Front, a Muslim separatist group active in the region. The Thai government declared the incident a terrorist attack. Within the same reporting cycle, the casualty count was refined to five Thai soldiers killed and six wounded, including a child.
The attack is part of an ongoing ethnic insurgency in southern Thailand, as The Zioneer reported on Thursday. The gunmen remain at large, and a manhunt is underway. No group has officially claimed responsibility, though the National Revolutionary Front has been identified as the perpetrators. The attackers' identities and exact motives remain unconfirmed.
