Shani Louk’s family and the Israeli government said that Hamas fighters killed the woman. Shani Louk’s sister Adi Louk said, “It is with great sadness that we announce the death of my sister.” Her mother Ricarda Louk is devastated by the loss of her daughter.
Israel said on social media platform X, previously Twitter, “Shani who was kidnapped from a music festival and tortured and paraded around Gaza by Hamas terrorists, experienced unfathomable horrors.”
Shani Louk was attending the Supernova music festival near the Gaza border on October 7. The 23-year-old was kidnapped by Hamas fighters. She was taken hostage in the Gaza Strip. Amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, the German woman’s body was paraded naked. She was seen lying face down in a pickup truck. Her family identified her from her dreadlocks and distinctive tattoos. Tomasina, Shani Louk’s cousin, came forward to identify her.
According to German news site DW, the German woman was also filmed being beaten. She was reportedly trying to flee when she was captured by Hamas fighters.
Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel, said that the German woman was “beheaded” by the Hamas terrorists. Isaac Herzog told the German newspaper Bild, “Her skull was found. This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis.”
