Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin tweeted that 2 Thais had died, while Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet confirmed the death of a student.

Meanwhile, London police increased patrols while Germany and France reinforced security at synagogues, Jewish schools, monuments.

Two Thai nationals have died in the violence between Israeli forces and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, Thailand’s prime minister said on Sunday.

The dramatic escalation of the long-running conflict has seen hundreds killed on both sides following Saturday’s surprise large-scale attack by Hamas from the Gaza Strip against Israel and Israeli retaliation.

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin tweeted on Sunday that he had received reports from the Thai ambassador in Tel Aviv “that two Thai people had died from the violence”.

He did not share further details, but said Thailand’s foreign ministry was working to evacuate Thais.

Earlier, Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Manet also confirmed the death of a Cambodian student who was in the country when the violence erupted.
