“This morning my daughter Shani Louk, a German citizen who was with a tourist group in the south of Israel, was kidnapped by Palestinian Hamas.I was sent a video where I could clearly see my daughter unconscious in a car with Palestinians,” she said in German, which Insider has translated.”Please send any help or news.Thank you.”
