8:57 a.m.: The German Hamas hostage Shani Louk is dead. Her mother reports this to RTL/ntv. “Unfortunately, we received the news yesterday that my daughter is no longer alive,” Ricarda Louk told the station. The 22-year-old was kidnapped on October 7th in Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel. This news has not yet been officially confirmed.”
“The German Shani Louk has been missing for weeks. Hamas terrorists kidnapped the 22-year-old after the attack on a music festival. Now there is sad certainty, as the mother says: Shani Louk is no longer alive.
The kidnapped German Shani Louk is dead according to her mother. Ricarda Louk told RTL/ntv. She had been informed that her daughter was dead: “Unfortunately, we received the news yesterday that my daughter is no longer alive.” There is no official confirmation yet. The 22-year-old was kidnapped by the terrorists after Hamas attacked a music festival.
Ricarda Louk recognized her daughter on a video in which the 22-year-old can be seen half-naked in a pickup truck between several Hamas men in the Gaza Strip, with her face to the ground and her legs twisted. She was then said to have been treated in a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

A few days ago, the relatives of German Hamas hostages commemorated the fate of their loved ones with a protest in front of the German embassy in Tel Aviv. 14 relatives stood in front of the representation with “cages” over their heads and photos of the hostages on the back of their heads. They wore black coats numbered 1 to 14. “Don’t let me be just a number,” was written on the protesters’ backs.
Terrorists on behalf of Hamas, which rules in the Gaza Strip, carried out a massacre of civilians in Israel on October 7th. More than 1,400 people died during and in the following days. More than 230 other people were kidnapped into the Gaza Strip, including several Germans. The Foreign Office continues to speak of a total of eight missing cases of German citizens, although one case could also include several family members. The government does not give the exact number.”

Personal comment:
Sadly it seems that her death has now been confirmed. The old footage from the day of the invasion showed a gunshot wound to the back of Shani Louks head, as such her chances of being alive were already slim to none. Out of respect for the family which was still searching for an alive Shani Louk, I deleted the old thread talking about her death a couple of days after the invasion by HAMAS happened. Sadly her death has now been confirmed by the mother of the victim. Is there no end to the barbarity of HAMAS?
Her being driven naked and almost dead through Gaza, while random civilians came by and spit on her and celebrated her as trophy, was one of the most disgusting videos I have even seen. Go Israel, liberate Gaza from Hamas !
They did this to a girl with a German passport so keep in mind the slogan “oh, don’t be naive, Hamas would also kill you”
They tortured her, murdered her, dragged her corpse on the streets and pridefully paraded it as a victory prize.
Hamas are barbaric savage terrorists that need to be thoroughly eradicated.
so no more hostages. 50 of them died of airstrikes
Unfortunately this proves what I’ve believed from the start 🙁 She’s likely been dead since the initial attack, one of the terrorists stole her credit card and someone lied to the mother about her being in a hospital.
RIP
The moment I saw that video I just hoped that she died before before having to go through all that they did to her body. It was gruesome.
Sad and tragic, but sadly we all knew this the moment we saw the disgusting footage
They are the scum of the earth and need to be destroyed.
Edit-spelling
Was she dead when Hamas was parading her body? Because some pro-Hamas accounts on Twitter were saying that she was alive and treated in a hospital.
Fucking animals
And the worst part? It’s being debated and “disproven” what has happened to this girl
We care about rape victims unless they’re Jewish..
It’s beyond me how anyone can support Hamas after that video…
I know that the pro p people say that israel do the same but where? Why is there no proof? There is clear proof of hamas doing this. Disgusting
I don’t know how even a brainwashed person can do this. Unless they are truly evil
May her family find comfort in their memories
The way her legs are twisted in that video makes me believe she is already dead that same day and it’s just one more cruelty from Hamas supporters to keep her mother’s hopes up that she is alive and being treated in a hospital
I’m sorry about this, as an arab I’m very sorry what many people with my religion do to your europeans
Man, I can’t tell you how many people on here, X and other social media were denying it was her and saying this was all propaganda. It’s sad how there are people who believe that Israel is at fault for all of this, simply for existing. Then, there are people who feel what Hamas did was bad, but Israel shouldn’t fight back and a “humanitarian” cease fire must be declared ASAP!
I feel for innocent Palestinians that are caught up in this, but when your government (Hamas) deliberately hides behind the citizens, it makes collateral damage impossible to avoid. Really though, most of what I see on here is endless compassion and support for Gaza, but very little for the Israeli civilians, plus many others from other countries, who were butchered in the most gruesome ways imaginable. Israel gives in and declares a ceasefire, Hamas will re-arm and then attack again …. and of course, Israel will be blamed for it.
Humans… please evolve if you want humanity to survive for the future.. if humans stand by the ancient tradition of being evil and barbarism, nothing will ever get better..
How the world stand by hamas is amazing
Christ, her poor family. I’m not a believer in any sense of the word but I pray that the innocent civilians on both sides of this mess pull through.
With everything that’s happening it’s difficult to imagine anything other than hate engendering further hate.
I hope some german warships will deliver some greetings to Hamas.
But as I know Germany, they’ll not only not do that but invite escaping Hamas sympathizers to their cities.
When will Western-Europe wake up? These people are already in your countries
I just saw a bunch of comments saying “what made her so special opposed to the people dying in Gaza”, that keep being deleted by either their creative donors or reddit mods. Here’s what made her “special”:
What made her special is that she didn’t rape, torture and spit on Palestinian corpses.
This conflict has been going on for a while, by extend even a really, really long while, and it’s been a constant back and forth. Drawing an arbitrary line in history and saying “but they started it” is absurd. You can point at Israel and say “they’ve killed this many Muslims here” and I’ll point you at any given slaughter Muslims have committed.
Yet there is one side here, that is constantly warning the other side to move, before they attack. It’s not Hamas.
There’s one side, that doesn’t use their own people as meatshields. It’s not Hamas.
There’s one side, that doesn’t glorify rape, murder and torture. It’s not Hamas.
For the Israelis, a dead Palestinian is collateral damage, for Hamas and a lot of Palestinians and Muslims in general, any dead Jew is a point on the scoreboard to heaven.
Neither side is right in their actions here, but if you or anyone here assumes that there is any moral equivalence in this conflict, you are out of your fucking mind.
Imagine an Israeli using a child or a woman as a shield in an attack by Hamas. The Terrorists would jump in joy because they just got to kill two Jews in quick succession. That’s not a joke, that is what’s been happening for Millenia, just in different colors.
This is the reality.
So much could I say from anger and sadness and disappointment in humanity that celebrated, protested and supported(still do) this over the past month, but goddamn do I feel sickened…
Im so sad for her mom who was hanging on a thread for her to be live. So sorry.
She didnt die with dignity. I hope her family will find their peace.
R/germany is autobanning people for posting this and related articles about her being confirmed dead. So gross
