Statement from the family of the woman killed by Hamas: 'Her credit card has been used'

The number of civilians who lost their lives in the attack carried out by Hamas's military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, against Israel under the name "Al-Aqsa Flood" on Saturday is increasing every second.

In footage that caused outrage in the world press and on social media the other day, Hamas militants were seen stripping a young tattooed woman who had been killed and parading her in the back of a pickup truck.

It was later learned that the woman, identified by her tattoos, was 30-year-old German national Shani Louk, who had come to Israel to attend a pro-peace music festival.

''HER CREDIT CARD IS BEING USED''

Speaking to the German magazine Der Spiegel, the young woman's family announced that their daughter's credit card had been stolen and was currently being used in Gaza.

Making statements on X, formerly known as Twitter, the young woman's mother, Ricarda Louk, said, "We last spoke with her on October 7. I have hope that my daughter is still alive. Perhaps she is unconscious. I do not want to accept that she is dead."

In the videos published on social media, a young woman whose face was not visible was seen lying in the back of a pickup truck among Hamas militants. The woman, whose leg appeared to be twisted and who drew attention with her tattoos, was identified by her relatives through those tattoos.
