Israeli authorities have confirmed the death of Shani Louk, a 23-year-old Israeli-German woman who was taken by Hamas militants during an attack on the Supernova music festival on Oct. 7.
According to the BBC, Louk’s death was confirmed after investigators matched her DNA with a sample taken from a skull bone fragment. It’s not yet clear where or when the skull fragment was found. Louk’s body also hasn’t been located yet.
As such, an exact cause of death hasn’t been officially determined. Speaking with the German TV news channel RTL/ntv, Louk’s mother, Ricarda, said she believed her daughter may have been shot in the head during the attack. “At least she didn’t suffer,” Ricarda said.
On Twitter, the Israel Foreign Ministry said, “We are devastated to share that the death of 23 year old German-Israeli Shani Luk was confirmed. Shani who was kidnapped from a music festival and tortured and paraded around Gaza by Hamas terrorists, experienced unfathomable horrors. Our hearts are broken. May her memory be a blessing.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Louk’s story garnered international attention following the attack on the Nova festival, after a video circulated that showed her body being paraded through the streets on the back of a flatbed truck.
Chen Mizrachi, an artist manager who helped with festival logics, told Rolling Stone in a recent report, “It’s crazy to do a massacre like that on innocent people.

I was neutral about this war. But the disinformation here on Lemmy is making me side with Israel. Fuck Hamas
Israel - Infamous for their Information community
Israel - Backed by the US
Hamas - Doesn’t have internet or clean water
Palestine - Doesn’t even have 3G internet when not at “war”
Palestine - ~50% children
Conclusion: “man Hamas sure do be lying on the internet a lot”
Both sides can be, and have been, terrible.
? What a strange conclusion. Because someone may have lied about a largely insignificant detail of this war you’re going to pick a side? Fuck Hamas and also fuck Netanyahu. I can’t do anything about Hamas but I can try to stop my government from supporting Netanyahu
I agree with you, fuck both. But if I were to choose (I don’t need to thankfully) fuck Hamas more
Imagine being so braindead to believe anything the Israeli government says. They also just claimed Palestinians baked a baby in an oven, something THEY did during Nakba. They often take their own crimes and deflect them on someone else, thats what right wing fanatics do.
Maybe nobody cooked a baby. It does scream atrocity propaganda.
Imagine being so braindead to make claims like that without citing any source, much less a reputable one.

What about the 3000 Palestinian kids that are killed every day by Israel?
Are their lives worth less than this teenager’s?
Who the fuck downplays a death with other deaths? Hamas fucking invaded that festival and killed people like barbars. They are terrorists, islamic extremists on top. Why can’t people just condemn this act? Who the fuck thinks this kind of attack is a legit reaction on the situation in Gaza?
At least put some actual numbers and post some facts. By your calculation all people in Gaza would be dead within less than 2 years, assumed everybody who lives there is a kid.
Lemmy and especially the world news community is crazy these days.
Who the fuck downplays a death with other deaths?
It’s just a bit weird to see this death paraded around the internet to condemn Hamas while Israel is killing thousands more.
Kind of makes it seem like “their lives worth less than this teenager’s.”
Where are the individual articles for each person Israel killed? You know what they say, one death is a tragedy, thousands are a statistic.
Enjoy some numbers and facts: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/29/more-childrens-deaths-in-gaza-in-3-weeks-than-annual-total-since-2019-ngo
The source you provided states 3324 children have died and another 1000 missing since Oct 7. Not “3000 killed every day”, as you claimed.
Those numbers are still horrifying, but should not be used to belittle cruelty of terrorism. Whataboutism is futile.
belittle cruelty of terrorism
I’m curious, do you consider the IDF to be terrorists?
“only 3000 in total” holy fuck dude
That’s not what the other person said, and misusing quotes like that on a serious topic like this is egregiously disingenuous. If that was your takeaway, then you really ought to take a step back, take a deep breath, and recollect yourself before commenting again, because you’re really missing the mark here.
Look, if you’re upset that a pretty white girl is getting a disproportionate amount of media attention, then just say that. That’s a valid criticism of the news cycle. Maybe you could make a commentary about “Missing white woman syndrome” or something. But to make comparisons over which terrorist organization is a worse terrorist organization than the other is just asinine. The IDF and Hamas are both terrorist groups, it doesn’t matter which one has killed more children; they’re both killing children. Neither side is worth defending, they’re both inhumane groups killing each other’s and their own innocents.
They’re a troll, a bad one at that.
Arguing in bad faith like this will only get rubes to follow you… Oh, wait, that’s exactly what you and the tankies on Hexbear are trying to do.
Your article cites Save the Children wich is “referencing Palestinian health authorities”. Trust me bro. Al Jazzeera, a quatari state-owned media outlet, seems not like the best source for information
What about
What about the 23,700 kids who die from leukemia every year in the US?!? Are their lives worth less than the Palestinian murdered children?
Since you didn’t explicitly express grief over the children dying from Leukemia, I must assume you don’t care about them at all and think the 3,000 Palestinian kids lives are worth more than the 23,700 leukemia victims.
/s
This is how you sound right now. I know this conflict has made me certainly doubt humanity’s intellectual faculties, but a lot of people can grieve for multiple people and things simultaneously without valuing one over the other.
Sorry i couldn’t care less about Americans
All their lives being lost is a tragedy
