A young German-Israeli woman who is widely believed to have been kidnapped by members of Hamas when the group stormed a music festival in Israel on Oct. 7 is dead, the Israeli government announced on Monday.

In a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Oct. 30, the Israel Foreign Ministry said it was “devastated” to share the news that the body of 23-year-old Shani Louk had been found and identified.
