• 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.

    Hamas supports the status quo though, because the moment the war stops they slide into irrelevance.

      Yes, just like Mandela. And the political parties in Northern Ireland. And the USA after it’s civil war etc etc.

      Hamas will try to legitimize, should a path forward be found. It is now less likely and further away. I expect Hamas is pretty much finished. Israel will use this as an excuse to obliterate the Palestinians with great force.
