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.
This was a horrific act perpetrated by terrorists. It should not be taken as representative of Palestinians. Still, this will receive more coverage than any atrocity carried out against Palestinians by the IDF or settlers, both of which enjoy official support from the government of Israel. The bias is clear and that is what I wanted to point out.

You can literally find Palestinian diplomats on BBC and AL Jazeera doing exactly that while placing it in the wider context of the 50+ year occupation and the fact that Israel is still the bigger military force in this
Theres pointing out bias and theres making bad-faith accusations of motive with no basis
