The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday, October 20, the elimination of Tamer Muhammad Ibrahim as-Sabagh, one of five Nukhba (Hamas special forces) terrorists involved in the abduction and murder of Shani Louk on October 7, 2023. As-Sabagh was killed the previous day in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza. This brings the total number of terrorists from this group involved in the incident to four eliminated, with the fifth, Mustafa Alaa Khatib, currently under arrest in Israel. The IDF stated that it and the Shin Bet will continue to pursue all terrorists connected to the October 7 massacre.
Shani Louk, 22, was at the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Re'im when the Hamas attack began. She was killed by terrorists after attempting to flee towards the Mefalsim area, and her body was taken to Gaza. Footage of her lifeless body being transported in a pickup truck by Hamas terrorists was among the first widely circulated images on the day of the attack, drawing international attention. Her family identified her by her tattoos. Louk, who held both German and Israeli citizenship, was initially believed by her mother to be alive and wounded, with German authorities assisting in the search. However, on October 30, 2023, her death was confirmed after a bone fragment was identified as hers through DNA analysis, with doctors concluding that her injuries were unsurvivable.
On May 17, 2024, Louk's body was recovered from a tunnel in Jabalia during a joint IDF and Shin Bet operation, along with the bodies of hostages the hostage, Ron Ben-Yamin, and Yitzhak Gelernter. Her father, Nissim Louk, shared that the family was returned her jewelry, including gold earrings and bracelets, on her mother's birthday, which he described as a precious final memento. The recovery of her body and the elimination of those responsible are part of the ongoing efforts by Israeli security forces to hold accountable those involved in the October 7 attacks.
