A young woman, known to be a German tattoo artist, whose apparently lifeless and semi-naked body was paraded in the back of a Hamas pick-up truck as militants sat on top of her and jeered following their violent incursion was last night identified as a German tattoo artist.
Shani Louk was at a music festival for peace when she was seized by terrorists as they attacked Israel in a surprise assault which has left at least 480 people dead and 3,200 injured.
Her body was filmed splayed in the back of a truck, with one leg at an unnatural angle, terrorists sitting around it and supporters of the group cheering, running alongside and spitting on her. Armed terrorists chanted „Allahu Akbar” as they paraded her body around. One Hamas fighter had his leg over her waist as another grabbed part of her dreadlocks.
Shani’s mother, Ricarda, released a heartbreaking video begging for help to find out what happened to her daughter. Holding a picture of Shani on her mobile phone, she said: „This morning my daughter, Shani Nicole Louk, a German citizen, was kidnapped with a group of tourists in southern Israel by Palestinian Hamas.
‘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.
„I ask you to send us any help or any news. Thank you very much.”
Shani Louk was among the hundreds of victims in Israel when Hamas targeted the dance party near Kibbutz Urim and other Israeli communities. The cruel attack in the Jewish state has led to the deaths of at least 250 Israelis with more than 1,500 injured and dozens more kidnapped.
