French national reportedly released on bail in Thailand after brutal attack on Israeli mother, daughter

Thai authorities have reportedly released a French national on bail after he attacked a 62-year-old Israeli woman and her 23-year-old daughter in Koh Phangan last week.

Paul William Bercu Gaubert was released after making a $3,200 bail payment, the Ynet news site reports.

Both of the Israeli women were seriously injured in the attack. The older victim remains in the hospital.

The pair, who asked not to be identified, say Gaubert approached them at a waterfall and asked where they were from. After the daughter told him they were Israeli, he attacked them both. They each have required surgeries for the injuries sustained.
