The mother of the 22-year-old, believed to be among Hamas‘ hostages, said her daughter is now probably dead.
Shani Louk, a 22-year-old German national who was believed to have been kidnapped by Hamas fighters during the militant group’s attack on Israel on October 7, is probably dead, according to her family.
Her mother, Ricarda Louk, had previously shared her hopes that her daughter was still alive, despite recognizing her in a video that showed her motionless half-naked body being paraded by Hamas fighters through the streets in the back of a pick-up.
