Israel recovers bodies of Shani Louk’s boyfriend and two other hostages 7 months after they were snatched by Hamas thugs
THE BOYFRIEND of killed German tattoo artist Shani Louk snatched by Palestinian militant group Hamas has been confirmed dead.
He is among three hostages murdered on October 7 who were recovered overnight from Gaza, Israel's army said today.
The bodies of Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez Radoux were found and their families notified.
Israel's army said all three hostages were killed by Hamas on October 7 at the Mefalsim intersection and their bodies were taken to Gaza.
They were reportedly located by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and Israel Securities Authority from a location in Jabalia, north of Gaza City, following a bitter firefight.
Orion, 30, was a French-Mexican citizen snatched from Israeli music festival Supernova - billed as "a journey of unity and love".
He had attended the festival with his 22-year-old girlfriend Shani Louk, whose body was rescued by Israel from the Gaza Strip last week.
Shani's body, and that of hostages Amit Buskila and Itzhak Gelerenter, were found by Israeli troops in the Strip, said IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari.
All three hostages were said to have been killed by Hamas terrorists at the Nova music festival before their bodies were taken to Gaza.
They - and Hanan, Michel, and Orion - were among 1,200 civilians slaughtered by Hamas-led militants on October 7.
Terrorists abducted about 250 others in the unprecedented attack.
Half of those taken and dragged to Gaza have since been freed, most in swaps for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel during a week-long ceasefire in November.
About 100 hostages remain captive in Gaza, along with the bodies of about 30 others, according to Israel.
