Shani’s family had been holding onto hope their daughter was alive and would one day be returned to them.
However, after three horrifying weeks of silence, Ricarda Louk said that she was informed by Israel’s military that her daughter was dead.
“Unfortunately, we received news yesterday that my daughter is no longer alive,” the heartbroken mother told RTL.
Shani’s sister, Adi, also confirmed her death on Instagram, writing: “It is with great sorrow that we announce my sister’s death”.
There has not yet been official confirmation and the circumstances around her death remain unclear.
In the hours that followed the festival massacre, Ricarda Louk recognised her half-naked, unconscious daughter in horrifying footage being spat on in a pickup truck.
Shani’s family feared she had been murdered, until Ricarda got news that the 22-year-old was allegedly in critical condition and being treated in a Gaza hospital.
The German-Israeli peace-lover – who allegedly refused to take part in Israel’s mandatory military service – was kidnapped from the festival during the start of Hamas’s surprise attack on southern Israel.
The trance party – designed as a celebration of “peace and love” – turned into a mass slaughter, etched forever in the minds of Israelis.
Ricarda previously revealed her daughter’s heroic last phone call.
The mum-of-four said her girl frantically rang up her friends at the start of the festival massacre.
“Shani called her friends and told them not to come there. They were intercepted with guns.
“She said: ‘Run away, Hamas is here’.”
As Hamas retreated back into Gaza taking young hostages, 260 bodies of the unsuspecting ravers were found among the desert plains.
In the days after Shani vanished, The Sun revealed chilling texts were sent from the phone of her missing boyfriend Orión Hernández Radoux, 30.
Harrowing messages written in Arabic were sent from the Mexican dad’s phone that say: “I spit on you” and “God damn you”.
His family have pleaded for answers over his disappearance and fear that he too was abducted and is being held by Hamas.
