An Israeli woman, who caused shock after a video of her being kidnapped unconscious by Hamas after a surprise attack on Israel by the Palestinian armed political faction Hamas on the 7th, was distributed on social networking services (SNS), was found to have died.
According to the German news agency dpa on the 30th (local time), Ricarda Luk, mother of Shani Luk (23), a German-Israeli, told the news agency, “I heard the news of my daughter’s death from the Israeli military.”
Ricarda added that the Israeli military had told him that “although Shani’s body was not found, a DNA sample from a skull fragment found on the victim’s remains matched Shani’s.” On this day, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on It is not known where the skull fragments were found.
Previously, Ricarda announced her daughter’s kidnapping in an interview with CNN on the 9th and sobbed, saying, “If you know any news about my daughter, please help me.” Shani went missing after participating in a music festival in Leim Kibbutz (collective farm) in southern Israel on the 7th, and a video was later confirmed on social media showing him being dragged somewhere in a truck with all his clothes removed and unconscious. Men believed to be Hamas members surrounded the truck and even spit on her daughter, causing shock and anger.

“After Shani was kidnapped, he was tortured and ‘paraded through the streets’ by Hamas around the Gaza Strip, Palestine,” the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “He must have experienced immeasurable horror.” However, Ricarda said in an interview with German broadcaster RTL that day, “I think her daughter was already dead after being shot in the head during Hamas’ surprise attack on the 7th,” and added, “I am glad to have the assurance that Shani at least did not suffer (for a long period of time).” “I think so,” he said.
