The 23-year-old was taken hostage when she was attending the Supernova music festival<\/a> near the Gaza border, which became one of the targets of a surprise Hamas attack<\/a> on October 7.<\/p>\n

After she went missing, an appeal by her mother Ricarda Louk<\/a> seeking the German and Israeli governments to get Shani Louk back went viral on social media. “We were sent a video in which I could clearly see our daughter unconscious in the car with the Palestinians and them driving around the Gaza Strip,” she had said in the video.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old had been paraded naked in a pick-up truck after being captured. In videos that were shared in the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks, Shani is lying face down in a pickup truck. Her family say they identified Shani from her dreadlocks and distinctive tattoos.<\/p>\n

Sharing the news of her death on X, Israel said, “Shani who was kidnapped from a music festival and tortured and paraded around Gaza by Hamas terrorists, experienced unfathomable horrors. Our hearts are broken.”<\/p>\n
