Israel - Palestine War update
An unconscious woman taken hostage by Gaza militants attacking an Israeli music festival was seen being paraded around the coastal enclave in new video authenticated and geolocated by CNN.
CNN has confirmed the identity of the woman as Shani Louk, a German-Israeli dual national. CNN has reached out to her family for comment but has not yet received a response.
Her cousin confirmed to The Washington Post that Louk attended the Nova Festival, an all night dance party celebrating the Israeli harvest festival Sukkot near Re'im, Israel.
Louk is seen motionless in the video.
One gunman, carrying a rocket propelled grenade, has his leg draped over her waist; the other holds a clump of her dreadlocks. "Allahu Akbar," they cheer – "God is Great," in Arabic.
Some of the crowd gathered around the truck, just outside of the Al-Shalfoh bakery and grocery store, join in the cheers. One man spits on Louk's head as the car drives off.
CNN does not know Louk's whereabouts, or condition, at this time. CNN is not airing the video because it is graphic and disturbing.
“We recognized her by the tattoos, and she has long dreadlocks,” Louk's cousin told The Washington Post.
US aviation officials have issued a special bulletin to pilots and airlines operating near Tel Aviv, urging “extreme caution.”
“Potentially hazardous situation – Israeli Airspace,” reads the Federal Aviation Administration’s notice to pilots, known officially as a NOTAM.
“Due to the ongoing conflict situation between Israel and Gaza, operators are advised to exercise extreme caution when operating within the Tel-Aviv flight information region.”
“Flight crews should remain in contact with air traffic control at all times,” the notice says, underscoring the possibility of “airspace closures.”
The FAA notice follows an earlier alert from the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel telling pilots and airlines to use caution, expect delays, and “calculate fuel accordingly.”
