<p>A German-born Israeli woman who was captured by Hamas terrorists and paraded on the streets following the October 7 attacks was found dead, the Israeli government announced on Monday (Oct 30).</p>

<p>Shani Louk, 23, was captured from the Supernova music festival in southern Israel near the Gaza border—from where the militant organisation launched their all-front attack.</p>

<p>The victim’s mother Ricarda Louk told the German media that she was informed of Shani’s death by the Israeli military, who had taken a DNA sample from part of a skull bone. Her body is yet to be found.</p>

<p>However, it is not clear from the reports where or how the fragment of her skull was discovered.</p>

<p>Later, Israeli President Isaac Herzog&nbsp;told the German newspaper Bild that she was in fact "beheaded" by the terrorists.</p>

<p>"I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead," Herzog&nbsp;was quoted as saying.</p>

<p>“Her skull was found. This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured and killed Israelis," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Hamas horrors&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>Shani’s sister Adi later took to the social media platform Instagram to share the news of her sister’s death.</p>

<p>"It is with great sadness that we announce the death of my sister," she said.</p>

<p>German newspaper Bild reported that Israeli President Isaac Herzog had also confirmed Louk's death.</p>

<p>More than 260 people were killed at the festival when gunmen opened fire, sending terrified partygoers to run for cover through the desert.</p>

<p>Hours after the attack, several clips began appearing on social media, showing the body of a young woman being paraded through the streets in the back of a truck, which was surrounded by armed fighters, while others yelled "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest).</p>

<p>Even though the woman was lying face down, Louk’s family were able to identify her from her dreadlocks and distinctive tattoos.</p>

<h2><strong>At least she didn't suffer</strong></h2>

<p>Initially, Lok’s mother argued that her daughter may be alive, contrary to the speculations floating around her death.</p>

<p>"We were sent a video in which I could clearly see our daughter unconscious in the car with the Palestinians and them driving around the Gaza Strip," Ricarda Louk said in an appeal for information posted online.</p>
