Court finds three Finnish men guilty of making guns with 3D printer and committing crimes

<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>

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).

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). 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. 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. However, it is not clear from the reports where or how the fragment of her skull was discovered. Later, Israeli President Isaac Herzog told the German newspaper Bild that she was in fact "beheaded" by the terrorists. "I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead," Herzog was quoted as saying. “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. Hamas horrors Shani’s sister Adi later took to the social media platform Instagram to share the news of her sister’s death. "It is with great sadness that we announce the death of my sister," she said. German newspaper Bild reported that Israeli President Isaac Herzog had also confirmed Louk's death. More than 260 people were killed at the festival when gunmen opened fire, sending terrified partygoers to run for cover through the desert. 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). Even though the woman was lying face down, Louk’s family were able to identify her from her dreadlocks and distinctive tattoos. At least she didn't suffer Initially, Lok’s mother argued that her daughter may be alive, contrary to the speculations floating around her death. "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>The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has seen an increase in Infiltration bids from across the border in the last few months. Around a dozen infiltration bids have taken place on the Line of Control and international border. Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbagh Singh, while interacting with media, said that the ceasefire agreement is being respected by both sides but there are continuous attempts of infiltration from across the border.&nbsp;</p>
