In a tragic turn of events, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed the death of a 23-year-old German-Israeli woman kidnapped by Hamas militants from the Nova music festival on October 7. The young woman, Shani Louk, was attending the festival in southern Israel when the horrific incident occurred. The ministry shared the heartbreaking news, stating that Louk had been “tortured and paraded through Gaza by Hamas terrorists” and had “experienced unfathomable horrors”.
On the day of the attack, militants breached the border between Gaza and Israel, blocked the northern and southern roads leading to the festival and swarmed the site on foot. They surrounded the crowds on three sides, forcing them to flee across the fields to the east.
Louk’s mother, Ricarda, shared her last conversation with her daughter, explaining the terror of hearing rockets and alarms going off in southern Israel. She called Shani to make sure she was safe, only to learn that her daughter was at the festival with few places to hide. “She was in her car and they had soldiers next to the cars and they were shooting so that people couldn’t get to their cars, not even to leave. And that’s when they took her,” said Ricarda. Despite the serious circumstances , Ricarda remained hopeful, saying: “It looks very bad, but I still have hope. I hope they don’t take bodies for the negotiations. I hope she’s still alive somewhere.”
Unfortunately, Shani Louk was not the only victim. More than 260 bodies were found at the site of the Nova festival, according to the Israeli rescue service Zaka. However, the total death toll could be even higher. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict and the innocent lives it continues to claim.
