The Israeli army had already reported Louk’s death at the end of October. Ricarda Louk said at the time that a sliver of a skull bone had been found and a DNA sample had been taken with it. If you injured this inner skull bone, you would no longer be able to live, the mother said at the time. The parents had provided the authorities with the necessary DNA comparison material a long time ago. Part of the family lives in Baden-Württemberg.

The Islamist terrorist organization killed more than 1,200 people in its unprecedented massacre. Israeli hostages are still in the hands of Hamas.
