Israeli Troops Find a Piece of Skull of Hamas Hostage Shani Louk Near Gaza, as They Advance on Hamas

10.30.23: A cousin of Shani Louk's said that the family received an official notice from the IDF and ZAKA that a bone from the base of Louk's skull had been found matched with Louk's DNA. Doctors determined that a person cannot live without the bone found and concluded that Louk could not possibly still be alive.

Shani Louk was 23 years old. She grew up in part in Oregon. After capturing her, Hamas paraded her naked body around Gaza. Then they beheaded her. She had gone to the Israeli desert near Gaza, but on land internationally recognized as Israeli, to celebrate peace and love. Videos of her taken hours before her death on October 7th, show her dancing to Israeli techno-pop music.

In an interview with German news organization Bild, Israeli President Isaac Herzog reiterated the confirmation of Louk's death. "I am truly sorry to report that we have now received news that Shani Nicole Louk has been confirmed murdered and dead," the German media outlet quoted the president as saying in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "Her skull was found. This means that these barbaric, sadistic animals simply chopped off her head as they attacked, tortured, and killed Israelis. It is a great tragedy and I extend my deepest condolences to her family.”

Qatar is in negotiation with Hamas over about 230 known foreign hostages. They have urged Israel to slow down their offensive in Gaza, in order to allow more time to negotiate a hostage exchange with Hamas. This discovery means Hamas has started executing hostages, and that there is no point in allowing them more time.

Separately, Hamas released video of two Israeli hostages, middle aged women, pleading for the Israeli government to do more to win their release.

Also separately, the IDF announced that one young woman, Ori Megidish, a private in the Israel Defence Force, has been freed by advancing IDF troops. She is home. "PVT Megidish was abducted by Hamas on October 7. Tonight, she was released during IDF ground operations. Ori is now home with her family.”

Andy Ngo tweeted: "The family of Shani Louk, the German-Israeli woman seen in video being paraded around by Hamas men praising Allah, has confirmed she is dead. The Israeli military told the family a DNA sample of a recovered skull fragment was confirmed to be hers. Her murder, along with the murder of hundreds of other civilians, has been praised by leftists as decolonization in action.”

It should be noted that even the Nazis did not behead their victims.
