Kidnapped Shani Louk’s family have announced that she is dead after a bone from the base of her skull was found three weeks after she was abducted by Hamas terrorists at the Nova electronic festival and paraded on the back of a truck.
Ms Louk, 22, was kidnapped from Israel to Gaza by Hamas terrorists on October 7 from the festival near Kibbutz Reim. Hamas gunmen took at least 239 hostages and killed about 1,400 people during the dawn raid.
For more than three weeks, Ms Louk’s family prayed that the German-Israeli could be saved from the terrorists.
But Ms Louk’s mother and sister today announced that she was dead.
Ms Louk’s cousin told the Jerusalem Post that the family were told by the Israeli Defence Forces that a bone from the base of the 22-year-old’s skull had been found.
The IDF and volunteers from the Zaka emergency response team said the bone from the base of a skull, without which a person can’t survive, matched with Ms Louk’s DNA.
