Thailand detained four Israeli tourists on Thursday and is slated to deport them to the occupied territories.
According to National Thailand, the Israelis threatened medical workers at a hospital in northern Thailand and were responsible for numerous "disruptive incidents" at Pai Hospital, including verbally abusing staff, damaging property, and smoking in unauthorized areas, in addition to reckless driving.
They were exposed due to a post in a Facebook community dedicated to criticizing the exploitation of medical personnel, according to the site.
They were then detained on charges of public disturbance, intimidation, harassment, and shameful conduct.
The four were subsequently turned up to the Thai Immigration Bureau, which withdrew their visas and began the deportation procedure back to "Israel", slapping each with a 3,000 Thai Baht fine, around $84.
