“A young woman with German citizenship”, Shani Louk, 22 years old, was allegedly kidnapped by Hamas during the attack on Israel (LIVE UPDATES). This is what the Der Spiegel website reports, citing family members: “Hamas terrorists kidnapped dozens of Israelis in their attack. “A young woman with German citizenship appears to be among the victims,” writes the weekly website. The German Federal Police did not want to officially confirm the case of the missing German, reports Spiegel.
Disappear
After a phone call saying “I’m staying yesterday morning,” the parents “never heard from their daughter,” but the bank told them that her credit card “was used in Gaza.” The girl lives in Tel Aviv, but her mother, born in Regensburg, Bavaria, who emigrated to Israel thirty years ago, knew that her daughter had attended a concert “in the south” of the country. The young girl’s father is Israeli. The family has made their daughter’s German citizenship public in the hope that German authorities can take action in the event of a possible prisoner exchange.
Video
A video described by Spiegel that is “circulating on the Internet” shows the last images of the young woman, loaded onto a jeep and apparently lifeless. Hamas has claimed that the person in the pictures was an Israeli soldier, but last night the young girl’s cousin, Tomasina Weintraub-Louk, told the Web website that the family identified the 22-year-old based on tattoos on her legs and dreadlocks. The relative told the British newspaper Chron website that she “hadn’t heard anything.” “We hope for positive news. It’s definitely Shani. He was at a music festival for peace. It’s a nightmare for our family.”
