Shani Louk, a young tattoo artist has been identified as the woman whose body was paraded through the streets in the back of a pickup truck by Hamas terrorists after they attacked an outdoor music rager during their sneak assault on Israel Saturday morning.
Shani Louk was among the hundreds of victims in Israel when Hamas targeted the dance party near Kibbutz Urim and other Israeli communities.
The cruel attack in the Jewish state has led to the deaths of at least 250 Israelis with more than 1,500 injured and dozens more kidnapped.
As disturbing footage of the violence quickly spread online, family members recognized Shani, in her early 20s, in a video, her first cousin told the Washington Post.
Armed terrorists chanted “Allahu Akbar” — Arabic for “God is Great” as they paraded her body around.
Her family tried calling her when they discovered that Hamas had crossed over from the Gaza Strip, cousin Tom Weintraub Louk reportedly said. At that point, they didn’t yet see the video of her.
She’s a German-Israeli dual national, according to CNN.
Shani is a tattoo artist and hair stylist, according to social media accounts that appeared to belong to her.
