Disturbing visuals of Hamas parading a naked and battered body of a woman on the streets of Israel have emerged. Another woman confirmed that it was her sister, a German citizen, seen in the video.

As the Israel-Gaza conflict rages, disturbing visuals of fighters of the Palestinian armed group Hamas parading a naked and battered body of a woman through the streets of Israel in the back of a pickup truck have emerged.

According to videos that surfaced on social media, a screaming crowd surrounds the Hamas’ vehicle, echoing their cries and spitting on the woman’s body.

Hamas initially claimed that the body belonged to a female Israeli soldier, according to news.com.au. However, Adi Louk confirmed on X that the woman seen in the video was her sister, Shani Louk, a German citizen and a tattoo artist, reported the New York Post.

Shani Louk’s mother, in a video message posted by Visegrad 24 on X, confirmed her daughter’s identity and appealed to people for more information regarding her whereabouts.

    They claimed it was the body of an IDF soldier!

    Look at her. She’s clearly not a soldier. She’s small and slight. Female soldiers are going to have a lot more muscle. She’s also a tattoo artist from fucking Germany she is going to have a different accent, language, reaction, and understanding of the situation. The soldier will know why and how to wait for rescue. This woman is probably completely disoriented and has no idea what her options are.

      Israel has a requirement for all citizens to serve a term in the IDF. Are you implying that there are no small slight Israeli citizens? I’ve met some women who served in the IDF, and they aren’t necessarily any larger than usual. The actions aren’t good, but the mistake wouldn’t be that hard to make.

        Well when you killed her and she wasn’t in a military uniform, that might clue you in, no?

          Why would terrorists give a shit who they kill?

          You’re giving Hamas more credit than they deserve, which is zero

          Yeah, because military personnel never take off their uniforms…

          Right. It’s only ok to kill civilians when they’re clearly marked medics and clearly marked press. With goddamn sniper rifles. Like they’re playing a fucking video game.

          When Israel bombs hospitals they kill a lot of people who are not wearing military uniforms.

          The scale of the violence perpetrated by Israel is not comparable to that committed by Palestine.

            None of the pieces of shit on the one side of this “war” wear uniforms. A favorite tactic of these kind of scum is to hide amongst and wear the same clothing as civilians so that it isn’t possible to take them out without collateral damage and then that can be used as propaganda.

            The term “human shield” comes to mind.

              And all of those clearly marked medics and press members getting killed by IDF soldiers?

              Do you think those soldiers gave a shit what kind of clothes they were wearing? They’ve been taught that they’re all subhuman. Uniform or not.

              Also, this is a literal open-air prison. How do you organize a standing army, with uniforms, etc. That’s not how it works. You can’t oppress a population (on their own land) and commit genocide for a century and not expect insurgency. You don’t get armed forces, Israel would never fucking allow that. So yes, they’re in “civilian clothing.”

              You can make all of the excuses you want for your support of apartheid.

              At the end of the day, it’s not a matter of opinion, but of fact that Israel has spent generations terrorizing Palestine.

        Okay well there may well be small and slight female IDF soldiers. I don’t know if they’d find themselves on the front lines as I’m not familiar with IDF deployment. I also don’t know if they’d be indistinguishable from a tattoo artist. Depends on the tattoo artist I guess.

        She probably has a German accent and she doesn’t speak Hebrew or Arabic. But I suppose if she were in shock you wouldn’t be able to tell and if she were dead on arrival you wouldn’t be able to tell.

      There’s a lot of missing context it would be weird to jump to conclusions. War makes fighters in an instant, she may not have been an idf soldier but if she fought back they might not make that distinction, we simply don’t know.

      It’s appalling either way as most acts and atrocities of war tend to be.

        She might have fought back but, and this is speculation, she probably didn’t deck herself out in body armor, radio equipment, and an Uzi.

          I’m sure those children who were murdered for throwing rocks at IDF soldiers weren’t decked out either…

          But you know who always is? All of the clearly marked medics and press people the IDF murders.

          Doesn’t seem to fucking matter, does it?

          That’s my point, anything at this point is speculation. What isn’t is that Israel is 100% using it for sympathy because declaring war on your open air concentration camp who doesn’t have a standing army looks real fucking bad.

        Your logic would allow a rapist to claim self defense because his victim struggled against being pinned to the wall for the act.

          Not at all, if you can point to an excuse for the behavior or acceptance of it I’d love to see it.
