Thai workers return to farms in Israel

On Oct. 7, 39 workers from Thailand were murdered by Hamas in Israel. Another 31 were taken hostage into Gaza. So it’s probably no surprise that around a third of the 30,000 strong community — which has been taking up agricultural jobs on Israel’s farms for decades — left the country in the aftermath of the attacks. Now, they’re coming back, in large part motivated by the financial incentives. Rebecca Rosman reports from Israel.
