The stories of people kidnapped by Hamas forces during armed attacks against Israelis are shocking and are being reported on social media.
Central figures are women who fell into the hands of Hamas militants and are either missing or presumed dead according to video and photo evidence – which, however, have not been confirmed.
According to testimonies, some of the abducted women were at a music festival when the Hamas militants attacked.
30-year-old Shani
The victim of the violent clashes was reportedly 30-year-old Shani Louk, who was reportedly seen dead or seriously injured in the back of a pickup truck driven by Hamas militants.
The tattoos on Shani’s legs may lead to her identification.

People who knew the 30-year-old German-Israeli woman “identified” her by the distinctive tattoos on her legs, which can be seen in the video making the rounds on the internet.
The 30-year-old’s distinctive dreadlocks appear to match those seen in the Hamas militants’ video.
Noah is missing
In another video of the Hamas incursion into Israeli territory, another young girl is seen asking for help as her kidnappers take her away from her family on a motorbike.
According to social media users, this is Noah, a young girl who was also found at the music festival in southern Israel.
