La Vanguardia media revealed the story of the twenty-year-old girl, whose semi-naked body was circulated on Social Media, lying in the trunk of a truck and surrounded by Palestinian resistance fighters as part of the events of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, as it turned out that she was a German blogger.
These outlets indicated that the girl was called “Shani Luke” and she was attending a music festival in the Negev Desert, at dawn on Saturday, when the surprise Hamas attack was launched. She holds German citizenship, and the naked girl appeared in the Resistance Truck.
The mother of Shani Louk, the woman whose body was seen on video in the back of a pick-up truck driven by Palestinian terrorists to Gaza, released a statement earlier today.

The German blogger’s mother speaks
After she saw the video, which was widely spread on social media during the past hours, her mother appealed to anyone who knows information about the fate of her 22-year-old daughter to help her reach her, according to what German media reported on Sunday.
Her mother, holding a picture of Shani louk on her mobile phone, said about the details of the naked girl in the resistance truck: “This morning, my daughter Shani Nicole Louk, a German citizen, was kidnapped with a group of tourists in southern Israel by the Palestinian Hamas movement.
It is noteworthy that the girl, who worked as a “tattoo artist” and displayed her pictures on Instagram, was attending a concert in the Negev desert in southern Israel, on Saturday, with a group of her friends, to celebrate what is known as the “Jewish Throne Day,” which was also attended by thousands of young Israelis. .
The British Daily Mail newspaper said that Shani louk was attending a music festival, when gunmen kidnapped her while attacking an Israeli settlement in a surprise attack that killed at least 480 people and injured 3,200 others.
Tattoo on her leg
Regarding the naked girl in the resistance truck, social media users matched evidence of the woman’s body that appeared in the video with photos of a German woman – Shani Louke. Specifically, the tattoos spotted on the victim’s legs match the tattoos in Luke’s photos, but an official statement about that is awaited.
This comes at a time when Shani’s mother, Ricarda, released a video asking for help to find out what happened to her daughter.
Information indicated that her mother is from the state of Baden-Württemberg, western Germany, and lives in Tel Aviv.
While her cousin, Tom Weintraub Locke, previously revealed that her family tried to contact her when they discovered that members of the Qassam Brigades had crossed the border from the Gaza Strip, but she did not answer, so they thought she was safe at the festival.
“We recognized her through her tattoos, and she had long braids,” Shani louk said.
Social media platforms are filled with a lot of fake information or footage that one must be wary of, such as the Israeli woman whose video clip allegedly documented the moment of her capture.
