Shani Louk, an Israeli-German citizen seen taken by Hamas militants during the Nova music fest attack, has been confirmed dead.
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.”

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.

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
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.
Its not our job to educate you, if you are unaware of these instances its because the propaganda machine doesnt tell you about them. And its your responsibility to educate yourself when you discover new info, not someone elses
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.
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.

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.
