• A video showed Shani Louk’s naked body being paraded through Gaza on the back of a Hamas truck.

  • Her family told Der Spiegel that Louk’s bank said her credit card had been used in Gaza.

  • More than 600 Israelis have died and over 100 have been captured by Hamas, Israel says.

Shani Louk, the young woman whose naked body was seen in the back of a pick-up truck driven by Hamas fighters through Gaza, may have also been robbed, a report suggests.

The parents have not heard from their daughter since a phone call early on the morning of October 7, just after Hamas launched the first rockets into Israeli territory.

But in an interview with German news outlet Der Spiegel, the family said they had received information from her bank that the tattoo artist’s credit card had been used in Gaza.

Louk’s mother, Ricarda Louk, still holds out hope that her daughter might still be alive, saying in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, that she saw her daughter “unconscious in a car with Palestinians.”

“I just don’t want to admit it yet,” she told Der Spiegel.

    …yeah, but they’re still the oppressor and have killed far more Palestinians than the other way around. Focussing on sensational stories like this to ignore the actual dynamics of oppression is exactly what I’m warning against.

      Is killing 260 innocent civilians at a rave just a “sensational story” for you? You might want to reevaluate your moral compass there, buddy.

      Many people were oppressed throughout history. Many more still are. Yet, I don’t seem to remember many of them enjoying themselves like Palestinians did with that poor German girl.

      What’s crazy is that I was sympathetic to the Palestinian cause before this. After seeing all those videos, I can’t blame the IDF for turining Gaza into rubble. If my country was attacked the same way & the invaders did to innocent civilians what Hamas did, I would have been absolutely pissed at our army if they didn’t respond with overwhelming force.

        I’m pretty sure Israel is still way ahead. Are their civilian casualties less horrific because it’s people in homes and schools rather than a rave? The only correct moral judgement is that Hamas and the IDF are both committed to evil, and the IDF is just more capable.

            Israel is killing hundreds of civilians right now. How is that not current?

              I agree, it is, as their response is now newer then the Hamas act.

              What I mean, is that looking at historical deaths is misleading when Hamas have just killed hundreds 2 days ago.
