The desperate message from the mother of a German tourist supposedly murdered by Hamas: "I ask for any help"

INTERNATIONAL / By Luis Moreno

The surprise attack carried out this Saturday by Hamas terrorists on different parts of Israel is leaving the first heartbreaking stories of the victims. This is the case of Shani Louk, a 30-year-old German tourist, who has supposedly been murdered by fundamentalists.

Her mother, Ricarda, posted a video asking for help: “This morning my daughter, Shani Nicole Louk, a German citizen, was kidnapped with a group of tourists in southern Israel by Palestinian Hamas.”

“They sent us a video in which I could clearly see our unconscious daughter in the car with the Palestinians and them driving through the Gaza Strip,” the woman continues.

“I ask you to send us any help or any news. Thank you very much,” concludes the desperate mother, who during the video showed her phone with an image of her daughter.

Hamas had claimed that the body seen in the video was that of an Israeli soldier, but Tomasina Weintraub-Louk, cousin of the missing tourist, confirmed that it was Shani, who was recognized by her tattoos on her legs and her hairstyle with dreadlocks.

“We hope for positive news. It is definitely Shani. She was at a peace music festival. “This is a nightmare for our family,” said the victim's cousin.
