The mother of a woman whose body was paraded through the streets by Hamas has pleaded for help finding her daughter.

A video showing German tattoo artist Shani Louk on the back of a pickup truck circulated on social media after the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.

Louk had been attending an outdoor "Festival for Peace" party near Kibbutz Urim when the area was targeted. First, rockets were launched, then gunmen and appeared and shot into the crowd, CNN reported. Party attendees told the outlet people immediately started to flee, passing dead bodies on the ground as they tried to escape the massacre.

The attack and resulting conflict has left hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians dead, with Israel's prime minister declaring war.

A video of a young woman with dreadlocks on the back of a pickup truck and surrounded by Hamas soldiers started circulating on social media shortly after the attack. In it, she appears stripped to her underwear, and her legs are bent at unnatural angles, while one soldier grabs her hair. People are also seen spitting on her body.

    Okay, I'm just pointing out that she wasn't stripped or raped. Israel will use the emotions created by this event to justify ethnically cleansing the Gaza strip, might as well not pile on false info on top.

    Yes Hamas is bad but Hamas only exists because of Israel's behavior.

    A rapid dog breaks it's chain and bites a child. Yes the dog has to be put down but the real fault lies in the one that kept it chained up, starving and beat it with a stick every day.
