Thailand's Labour Ministry dispatched DNA samples of 35 missing nationals to Israel, assisting in the identification of approximately 200 unidentified bodies, believed to be Asian.
This initiative responds to Israel's request to compare samples with remains, as 39 Thais are confirmed dead and 25 held hostage following the October 7 Hamas attack.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
