Shani Louk is a German-born woman who was one of the attendees at the Tribe of Nova music festival in Israel that was taken over by Hamas terrorists who killed hundreds and took others captive.
Louk was paraded through the streets of Gaza by Hamas terrorists on Saturday, with people surrounding shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and passersby spitting on her motionless body.
In the video, she is seen unconscious, stripped down to her underwear in a pickup truck, and her legs are bent abnormally.
Louk’s mother, Ricarda Louk, recognized her tattoos and dreadlocks in the video.
After seeing the footage, her mother took to social media to share her message of hope for her daughter’s safety and asked for information on her capturing.
Louk’s family has since identified her as the nearly naked woman lying face-down in the bed of a pickup truck with four militants, apparently being paraded through the streets.
It remains unknown whether she was killed in the attack, and her family has said they hope she is alive.

Supernova festival attack
The Supernova Festival attack was a deadly assault that took place in Israel on October 9, 2023.
Thousands of young people were attending the Supernova music festival, which was held in a dusty field outside the Re’im kibbutz, about 3.3 miles from the wall that separates Gaza from southern Israel.
Hamas militants breached Gaza’s border fence early on Saturday and attacked the festival.
Some of the militants descended in paragliders on the gathering, while others came by road.
While rockets rained down, fighters converged on the festival site while others waited near bomb shelters, gunning down people who were seeking refuge.
The attack resulted in the death of at least 260 people, making it the worst civilian massacre in Israeli history.
Many of the fighters were wearing body armor and brandishing AK-47 assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades.
The festival, originally intended to be a joyful and music-filled event, transformed into a harrowing incident that will be remembered as one of the most significant acts of terror perpetrated by members of Hamas.
Terrified festivalgoers fled in panic as Hamas fighters parachuted into the all-night rave and opened fire, taking hostages and killing indiscriminately.
The attack happened in the final hours of Supernova, a marathon trance music event held in honor of the Sukkot festival.
The dancing began at 11 pm and continued all night, at the festival attended by thousands of Israelis aged 20-40 from all over the country.

Israeli-Palestinian conflict
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-standing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians over competing claims to the Holy Land, which includes disputes over borders, Jerusalem, security and Palestinian refugees.
The conflict dates back to the end of the nineteenth century, but it escalated in 1947 when the United Nations adopted Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.
On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was created, sparking the first Arab-Israeli War.
The war ended in 1949 with Israel’s victory, but 750,000 Palestinians were displaced, and the territory was divided into three parts: the State of Israel, the West Bank (of the Jordan River) and the Gaza Strip.
Since then, the conflict has continually flared into conflict, including multistate wars, armed uprisings (intifadas) and terrorist acts.
The conflict has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced many millions of people.
The outlook for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is bleak, with divisions between the two sides deep over basic issues, as is the reciprocal skepticism about the other side’s commitment to upholding obligations in an eventual bilateral agreement.
Here is a timeline of some of the key events in the conflict;
1947: The United Nations adopts Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.
1948: The State of Israel is created, sparking the first Arab-Israeli War.
1967: The Six-Day War culminates in Israel’s occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza.
1993: The Oslo Accords are signed, committing to negotiating an end to the conflict based on a two-state solution.
2006: The Palestinian side is fractured by conflict between Fatah and Hamas.
2014: A military confrontation between the Israeli military and Hamas results in a major offensive in Gaza.
2021: Israel and Hamas agree to a cease-fire deal brokered by Egypt after an 11-day war that killed more than 200 Palestinians and more than 10 Israelis.
