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.

    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.
