A 23-year-old German-Israeli woman who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival by Hamas militants on October 7 has been declared dead, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.

“We are devastated to share that the body of 23 year old German-Israeli Shani (Louk) was found and identified,” the ministry posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

A source involved with her identification told CNN Louk’s death was announced after forensic examiners found a bone fragment from her skull.

    This is so strange to me, “Louk’s death was announced after forensic examiners found a bone fragment from her skull.”

    NBC News says “She was one of more than 250 young Israelis murdered by the terrorist group at the festival.”

    So many questions. Why of 250 people is the media focused on her? also the found a skull fragment and knew it was hers? is that possible?

    Another article said she was beheaded. Seems like a lot of different accounts of what happened.

      I’m pretty sure there was increased focus on her due to how heinous her experience was. She was filmed having been beaten and stripped in the back of a truck being driven by chanting terrorists. I mean it doesn’t really get any worse. Others has the same experience but hers was caught on camera very clearly. That is a big differentiator.

        a truck being driven by chanting terrorists.

        And also people of Gaza cheering them on and spitting on her.
