A horrifying video doing the rounds on social media platforms showed the naked body of the young woman, identified as Shani Louk, being paraded in the back of the pickup truck amid loud chants of ‘Allahu Akbar’ and deafening cheers from a raucous crowd.

The Hamas fighters can also be seen spitting on the slain woman’s body as crowd of Palestinians follows the vehicle while cheering and chanting slogans.

The woman was reportedly murdered by Hamas fighters after she was captured by Hamas militants as they laid siege to the Nova Music Festival near the Gaza-Israel border.

Earlier, Hamas had claimed the body belonged to a female soldier of the Israeli Army, however, the victim’s sister later confirmed her identity after the video surfaced on social media sites.

In another purported incident, Hamas fighters allegedly took an elderly Israeli woman, Yafa, captive from her home near a border town.

One video showed an Israeli mother and her two kids being taken captive by armed fighters of the Palestinian outfit.

According to the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), at least 750 Israeli civilians and soldiers have been taken hostage by Hamas forces in Gaza. However, Hamas has put the number at 2,500. The hostages also include foreign nationals, including 17 Nepalis, Nepal’s Ambassador to Israel told news agency ANI.

Visuals Israeli civilians and soldiers being captured by Hamas fighter, roughed up, dragged through the streets of Gaza and Israeli border town, and herded into vehicles, have surfaced on social media since the latest offensive by Hamas started.

In a coordinated assault, Hamas fired around 5,000 rockets on Israel on Saturday morning and infiltrated border areas under the control of Israel. Over 500 people have been killed in both Israel and Palestine as the latest conflict quickly heads towards a full blown war between the two arch enemies.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a “state of war” after unprecedented attack by the Hamas group.

Meanwhile, Hamas’ military wing’s elusive leader, Mohammed Deif, issued a rare public statement on Sunday, stating that the group has launched a massive offensive codenamed “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm” to drive out “Israeli invaders and liberate Al-Quds (Jerusalem)”.

“We’ve decided to say enough is enough,” Deif said as he urged all Palestinians to confront Israel.

In retaliation, Israel launched a counteroffensive ‘Operation Iron Swords’ against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which the group controls, and also urged its citizens to stay indoors. According to latest updates, 198 Palestinians were killed and 1,610 were injured after Israel’s counterattack in Gaza.
