May 19, 2024 - Srigim, Israel: The funeral of Shani Louk,23, who was murdered on October 7th in the Nova festival. Her body was taken to Gaza. A few days ago her body was returned to Israel by the IDF forces. By her coffin are her parents Nissim and Ricarda and her sister and brother. Shani Louk, 23, was murdered on October 7 at the Nova festival and her body was taken to Gaza by Hamas terrorists. On May 17 her body was found in Rafah, along with two other dead Israeli hostages — seven months after the tattoo artist was kidnapped from the music festival and then paraded half-naked through Gaza on Oct. 7, turning her into an international symbol of Hamas’ savagery. The Israeli military announced May 17 that troops found Shani and the bodies of Amit Buskila, 28, and Itzik Gelernter, 58, during an overnight operation in Hamas’ last remaining stronghold city.
