Shani Louk: Disturbing development after festivalgoer's naked body paraded through streetsThe tourist was in Israel attending a 'festival of peace' when she was captured and killed.Joe Attanasio Joe Attanasio·Senior Reporter Updated Mon, 9 October 2023 at 12:45 am GMT+2·3-min readA photo of Shani Louk posted on her Instagram four weeks ago.shanukkk/InstagramA German tourist believed to have been taken hostage and killed by Hamas militants in Gaza was also likely robbed after her death, her family say, with bank transactions emerging showing new activity on her credit card.
Shani Louk, 30, a German tattoo artist, was in Israel attending a music festival when she was captured by Hamas militants who stormed the area in a surprise assault at the weekend, firing thousands of rockets and invading by land, sea and air.
The attack, the largest invasion of Israel in some 50 years, has so far seen hundreds upon hundreds of civilians killed, many more taken hostage and thousands injured.Shani Louk, 30, a German tattoo artist, was in Israel attending a music festival when she was captured by Hamas militants. Source: InstagramShocking video of Shani Louk circulates on social mediaDisturbing video of Ms Louk — who was understood to have been attending the Nova "music festival of peace" at the time of her capturing — has since surfaced of her naked, lifeless body being paraded through the streets of Gaza while militants spit on her remains and tug at her hair.
The unverified footage shows Ms Louk's legs twisted in unnatural positions, prompting the assumption she was deceased at the time it was filmed. Ms Louk's signature dreadlocks and body tattoos meant she was able to be identified from the video.
In an interview with German news outlet Der Spiegel, Ms Louk's mother claimed the family "had received information from her bank" that the young tattoo artist's credit card had been used in Gaza, likely after she was killed.Devastated mother pleads for informationRicarda Louk spoke through tears in a video posted to X, formally known as Twitter, that she still holds out hope that her daughter might be alive, speaking after seeing the video of Shani "unconscious in a car with Palestinians."
"I just don't want to admit it yet," Ms Louk said, per Der Spiegel.
"This morning my daughter Shani Louk, a German citizen who was with a tourist group in the south of Israel, was kidnapped by Palestinian Hamas.""I was sent a video where I could clearly see my daughter unconscious in a car with Palestinians," she said in German, which was translated.
"Please send any help or news. Thank you."
Ms Louk is among the more than 100 civilians, which include children, women and the elderly, taken hostage by Palestinian fighters since war was declared by Israel on Sunday morning AEST.
Many other foreigners are reported to be missing from the same festival, including British citizen Jake Marlowe, although the Israeli embassy in the UK said it did not know if he had been taken hostage.

This entire situation may be taken out of hand of reality with over sensitivity in regard to the innocents of Gaza.. It needs be to be reminded of no one else, but Hamas initiated the attack upon the Israeli people without regard whatsoever upon the innocents, children, wives, husbands, and people on the street that they killed without remorse.
No matter those that are not there to speak out against The IDF actions, this is an act of unprovoked war with expectations of non-combatants casualties are to be expected in as well as combatants alike. Hamas is allowed to control the Gaza by Egypt and as so, it is the responsibility of Egypt to then control Hamas. For otherwise it being an act of war between this outlaw group called Hamas needs be treated as such. To be militarily confronted, invaded and treated as war time prisoners. Those found guilty of crimes against humanity, needs be treated as such with imprisonment or as assigned by military court, executed as charged.
It matters little of public {sensitivities}, for once Israel declared this to be a war, it becomes under international law, up to the conquers their decision in the course of both the war and post war actions.
