Shani Louk: Distraught mom pleads for help to find daughter who was kidnapped and paraded naked by Hamas
'I was sent a video where I could clearly see my daughter unconscious in a car with Palestinians,' Shani Louk's mother Ricarda said
ISRAEL: A terrified mother has asked for the public’s help in finding her daughter who was allegedly abducted by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas and paraded through the streets of Israel while only wearing her underwear.
Shani Louk, who is said to be in her 20s and is German, was reportedly kidnapped from the ‘Festival for Peace’ event she was attending near Kibbutz Urim. She was then stripped and paraded "unconscious in a car", her mother, Ricarda, claimed, as per BBC.
What did Shani Louk’s mother say?
Ricarda reportedly shared, “This morning my daughter Shani Louk, a German citizen who was with a tourist group in the south of Israel, was kidnapped by Palestinian Hamas."
“I was sent a video where I could clearly see my daughter unconscious in a car with Palestinians,” she added. “Please send any help or news. Thank you.”
The mother of Shani Louk, the woman whose body was seen on video in the back of a pick-up truck driven by Palestinian terrorists to Gaza, released a statement earlier today.
