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.

    As with any extremist group, those perpetrating those actions do not represent the entire population. We can condemn inhuman actions on both sides without missing the forest for the trees. It is not different from acknowledging that being an anti-zionist does not make one an anti-semite.

      I hate how when we start killing each other shared humanity is forgotten.

      I’ve got a friend in Israel, he’s just a guy, tries to make it a saner place. His crime was being born there. Right now he’s sitting in his house hoping nobody he loves is going to die while a government he hates and wants destroyed throws bombs at other people who have nothing to do with this and claims it is on his behalf. There are countless Palestinians who live under brutal occupation that just want to be free.

      Always it is the little people who suffer and die for the dreams of megalomaniacal tyrants. Violence begets violence begets violence, this will be held up by every fucking group that wants to kill other people as a new excuse for why it’s so great to go kill other people.

      Sometimes situations are just hard and ugly. Anyone can say “oh war is hell, people die” but I doubt they’d be so sanguine about it if someone kicked in their door and made them a sacrifice for crimes whoever claims dominion over them committed.
