Hamas terrorist who spat on and paraded Shani Louk’s body through Gaza ‘has been killed’, rabbi claims

The Hamas terrorist who spat on the body of festival-goer Shani Louk and paraded through Gaza has been killed by Israel, a rabbi has claimed.

The mother of 23-year-old Shani, who was shot dead by Hamas terrorists on October 7, reportedly told a leading rabbi that the terrorist who paraded through Gaza with her body on the back of a truck had been killed by Israeli forces.

The tattoo artist’s family believed for weeks that Shani had been kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from the electronic festival Nova in the south on October 7 – before Israeli soldiers confirmed she had been killed after finding fragments of her skull on October 30.

During those harrowing three weeks, Shani’s family had to deal with seeing a disturbing video, which showed the 22-year-old’s half-naked body lying in a victim’s back, surrounded by terrorists and jeering crowds spitting on her.

Now it has emerged that the terrorist who spat on Shani and paraded her body in front of cheering crowds was murdered by Israel, according to a rabbi who claims he spoke to her mother Ricarda.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach said Ricarda told him that the IDF had killed the “monster” who had put his legs over Shani’s body in the back of the truck while shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

Boteach said in a video on Twitter: ‘Yesterday Ricarda Louk revealed to us, she said it so quietly and with so much dignity, that the IDF had killed the monster, attacked and killed that ferocious Hamas monster that had its legs over her naked body . , shouting “Allahu Akbar” as he paraded her body through Gaza City.

“The man is now roasting in hell where he belongs. And that will be the fate of all Hamas monsters, thank you IDF.”

Shani’s brother Amit Louk, 20, revealed earlier this month that his “whole family broke down” when they saw the kidnapped festival-goer being paraded by Hamas terrorists in a truck, where they “spit on her like she was nothing.”

Amit Louk, 20, said he was shocked when he saw the video of his sister lying motionless and half-naked in the back of a truck, with one leg at an unnatural angle, as she was surrounded by four terrorists shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

The last time he heard from Shani was on the phone, as she frantically tried to escape the electronic Nova festival near Kibbutz Re’im in her car on October 7, while Hamas gunmen shot at everyone that they saw.

“She said we are leaving now, don’t worry,” Amit told Sky News. “But the terrorists were waiting on the road.”

Shani’s family have since said that within minutes of Shani and her friends trying to escape, they were met by Hamas terrorists who shot at the vehicle, killing the 23-year-old “instantly.”

Shani had been dancing with her friends at the music event on October 7 and had not noticed the black-clad paragliders descending on the fields surrounding the festival with their grenades and machine guns.

But the young partygoers soon heard the sound of air raid sirens and saw the rockets shooting overhead.

Shani’s father Nissim said earlier this month that Israeli soldiers told them they had found Shani’s skull and that she had been killed “on the spot” by Hamas terrorists as she fled the festival with friends in her car.

For Mr Louk, this has brought a sense of comfort, knowing that his daughter is not suffering unknown horrors at the hands of Hamas terrorists.

“It’s very difficult as a father, but on the other hand I’m happy,” Mr Louk told Piers Morgan Uncensored. ‘Why am I happy? At least I know she’s dead, I know she was dancing all night and having the time of her life… she’s not suffering.

‘I don’t want to think about what they do to these beautiful girls in Gaza. It’s crazy. They are psychopaths, they are sadistic people, the whole world has seen it.’

Mr Louk added: ‘Sometimes it’s better to know your daughter is dead and she didn’t suffer… it gave me some peace and peace of mind. It’s very, very difficult.’

The nightmare that Mr. Louk had experienced has now turned into a new one. Shani’s parents and siblings – Amit, 20, Or, 14, and Adi, 25 – cannot bury her because they only have skull fragments.

Mr Louk said: ‘I hope for the sake of the world that what we went through will not happen to anyone in the world, because it is difficult for a father to bury a child.

“Right now we don’t even have the body because they took the body and I don’t want to think about what they did to the body.”

The heartbroken father said he believes his daughter is now “a symbol” of the horrors Hamas terrorists inflicted on the 1,400 Israelis they slaughtered.

“I think my girl was the symbol because she looked so beautiful and pure and nice in the newspapers,” Mr. Louk said. “And on the other side of the paper you saw the Hamas terrorists sadistically, madly and brutally throwing her into the back of a pickup truck with her legs broken and a wound on her head.”

Shani’s mother Ricarda said two weeks ago that seeing the video of her daughter’s lifeless body in the back of that truck, surrounded by mocking terrorists spitting on her, was like experiencing a “horror movie.”

“If you saw the video, you can imagine how I felt,” Ricarda said. ‘You feel like you’re in a horror movie when you see your own daughter being transported by those barbarians and everyone celebrating and spitting on her.

‘It’s like being in a bad movie and wanting to wake up. It’s devastating.’

Ricarda and Nissim believed Shani was still alive at the time after receiving messages from a source saying she was being treated in hospital for a head injury.

For weeks, Ricarda, buoyed by the hope that her daughter was still alive, and her family urged the German government to intervene. But on Monday “we got the news that she died,” Ricarda said, after soldiers knocked on their door.

Amit said, “If you see soldiers in the house, you know it’s bad news.” But the 20-year-old said he felt some relief knowing that Shani died instantly and that, unlike many other families in Israel, he knows where she is and that “she is no longer suffering.”

For Shani’s family, they say they will remember her for her happiness, how much she loved music, while her little brother Amit described his sister as an ‘angel’.

Amit said, “She loved music. She loved tattoos. She was an artistic person by nature… In the way she talked and the way she moved. In the way she danced. There was no dark side, just pure angel.”

Shani is now among 270 people slaughtered by Hamas terrorists at the festival, where survivors described how the gunmen went “tree by tree” to execute the victims.

Survivors of the attack posted clips of the ordeal on social media, showing how they had to hide under bushes and record silent farewell messages to their loved ones as they watched the victims being killed one by one.

Many lay silent in sheer fear for more than five hours before they heard the sound of armed rescuers speaking in Hebrew.
