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

  • 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.

    Yes let’s all quote those elections done 16 years ago that lots of Palestinians couldn’t even be part of and were never repeated to say stuff like “And Palestinians support Hamas”. Let’s generalize all the way to hell. Let’s make it all black and white.

        Sounds to me more like I’m one of those 47%

        But no, let’s take Brexit numbers and make them black or white.

        All I said was that not all Palestinians support Hamas. This is factually correct. It is not something you can dispute.

        Do you even read the things you post to me? Look at this

        Head pollster Khalil Shikaki, who has been surveying Palestinian public opinion for more than two decades, called it a “dramatic” shift, but said it also resembles previous swings toward Hamas during times of confrontation. Those all dissipated within three to six months as Hamas failed to deliver on promises of change.

        You are making big sweeping statements from an article that contradicts the polarity you are trying to display.

        If you really are Palestinian, you are not well informed.

        Edit: I just want to add, what a shitty tactic. “If you are really Palestinian”… yes, I’m really Palestinian. I’m registered at the UN as a Palestinian refugee with the right of return. I’m a fucking diaspora. There is no need to deny people their own heritage or identity because of a petty online argument. I’ve lived my early life in Jordan, surrounded by Palestinian and Jordanian families. I have Palestinian friends. I’m very well aware of Palestinians who support Hamas, and aware that it’s not even close to everyone. I’m not stupid enough to generalize and run with it.
