For about three weeks since Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, the fate of the young tattoo artist had been unknown.
Her family had recognized her in a video circulating on social media showing a half-naked, unconscious woman being paraded by Hamas fighters in the back of a pick-up truck. The woman's face wasn't visible, but Louk's family said they identified her by her leg tattoos. Now, Louk's family said that they were informed by Israeli authorities of the 22-year-old's death. While the family didn't specify how or when Louk died, Herzog said the woman was beheaded after the October 7 attack.
"I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead. Her skull was found," Herzog told the German daily newspaper Bild.
"This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis. It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family," he continued." Newsweek
