NOT BACKING DOWN. LESTER? >> RICHARD ENGEL TONIGHT, THANK YOU. >>> WE HAVE NEW DETAILS IN THE BRUTALITY OF THE INITIAL HAMAS TERROR ATTACK. BUT AS ISRAEL PRESSES ITS MILITARY CAMPAIGN DEEPER, THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF ALL THIS. HERE’S RAF SANCHEZ.
>> Reporter: TONIGHT A CHILLING REMINDER OF THE BRUTALITY OF HAMAS’S TERROR ATTACK. ISRAEL ANNOUNCING 23-YEAR-OLD SHANI LOUK, LAST SEEN IN THIS VIDEO BEING CARRIED INTO GAZA BY HAMAS TERRORISTS, HAS BEEN FOUND DEAD. ISRAEL’S PRESIDENT SAID SHE WAS BEHEADED. HER MOM TONIGHT
SAYING, “THIS IS NOT AN ACT OF WAR. THIS IS JUST PURE TERROR, CRUEL AND BRUTAL.” SHANI WAS ONE OF MORE THAN 250 YOUNG ISRAELIS MURDERED BY HAMAS AT THE SUPERNOVA MUSIC FESTIVAL. MANY OF THEM TRIED TO ESCAPE ALONG ROAD 232, NOW REFERRED TO IN
ISRAEL AS THE ROAD OF DEATH. ISRAELI CIVILIANS FLEEING FROM THE MUSIC FESTIVAL REACHED THIS BOMB SHELTER. THEY THOUGHT THEY’D BE SAFE HERE. BUT ISRAEL’S MILITARY SAYS A HAMAS TERRORIST THREW A GRENADE INSIDE AND IT TURNED INTO A DEATH TRAP. AS ISRAELI FORCES PUSH DEEPER INTO GAZA,
THEIR GOAL IS TO TOPPLE HAMAS. POLLS BEFORE THE TERROR ATTACK SHOWED JUST A QUARTER OF THE PALESTINIAN PUBLIC SUPPORTED HAMAS. BUT WITH THOUSANDS OF GAZAN CIVILIANS KILLED AND A MILLION MORE DISPLACED, EVEN PALESTINIAN CRITICS OF HAMAS WARN ISRAEL’S MILITARY RESPONSE IS
CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR THE GROUP’S IDEOLOGY TO SURVIVE. >> HAMAS EQUALS PEOPLE’S FRUSTRATION. IF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED MORE, THAT MEANS HAMAS IS MORE POPULAR. >> Reporter: AND A NEW REPORT THAT WHILE PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS DESPERATELY STRUGGLE FOR BASIC NECESSITIES
HAMAS IS WELL SUPPLIED AND REFUSING TO GIVE IT AWAY. ARAB AND WESTERN OFFICIALS TELL “THE NEW YORK TIMES” THE GROUP HAS STOCKPILED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF FUEL FOR VEHICLES AND ROCKETS AND ENOUGH FOOD, WATER AND MEDICINE TO LAST FOR MONTHS.
>> HAMAS STILL BELIEVES THAT THEY CAN PUT UP A FIGHT. >> Reporter: GERSHON BASKIN IS AN ISRAELI NEGOTIATOR WHO HAS DEALT WITH HAMAS. EVEN IF HAMAS AS AN ORGANIZATION CAN BE DEFEATED, CAN ITS IDEOLOGY? >> NO. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN REPLACE THE REALITY OF
THE HORRIBLE LIFE THAT PEOPLE IN GAZA AND IN PALESTINE HAVE HAD OVER THE LAST 75 YEARS IS TO CREATE A NEW REALITY. >> AND RAF, WE’RE HEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME FROM HAMAS’S LEADER IN GAZA. WHAT IS HE SAYING? >> Reporter: LESTER,
HIS NAME IS YAHYA SINWAR. I MET HIM IN GAZA SEVERAL YEARS AGO. HE HAS A BRUTAL

If the idf said it then take it with a pinch of salt.. they have hanibal directive which allows them to delete their own instead of being captured. Could have been deleted from the indiscriminate carpet bombing with no regards of their hostages being there.
No one told Hamas to invade Israel. All this is the consequences of Hamas crossing the border and messing with the wrong people. And the 80% of Palestinians that voted Hamas into office, you should thank Hamas for this mess. And for the soulish people who see a picture and not the whole picture beware because they are coming to America to do the same thing. It is a wonder that the world is blinded by the lie rather than the truth. God have mercy on us.
I wonder if people still believe that after the lie of 60 babies. It's funny how no video or images, witness or anything to give to backup your story in this video.
wow so many people believe this blindly , even if she is dead she got shoted by israely army at festival (search for hannibal directive) the video of her on the back of a track was on the way of hospital i dont know if she survived, what about the 40 babies got beheaded america denied that himself because that propaganda was exagerated , look on the faces of hostages when they leave hamas members they smile and wave , israel and america are masters in lying they even threated Elon Musk , hope you guys see the truth
Seeing that israel has a one hundred percent record of lying at every opportunity, and it being found that they are the ones guilty of what they accuse hamas of doing, including much of the slaughter of their own people and soldiers, it is far more likely that this was another opportunity for them to score points and spread their propaganda.
For the sake of impartiality, kindly incorporate the tragic reality of thousands of children and women killed in Gaza into your narrative. Additionally, ensure meticulous fact-checking with reliable sources, including contributions from competent freelance reporters and perspectives circulating on platforms like TikTok, for a comprehensive and accurate portrayal.
Unimaginable!! The suffering that she endured. They paraded her into the streets half dressed then beheaded her!! Another innocent victim of hamas.
💔💔💔💔
Literally her mother said she was alive.
They all killed by IDF they admitted themself
Video Game Footage?
I think this claim has been debunked.
Beheaded or bombed? You didn't clear that up. Netanyahu has a long standing history of lying. There's so much evidence even statements from hostages themselves that they were treated well. Please stop this propaganda, and educate yourself.
Don't always believe what the news says. Do your own research
im sick of this israeli propganda victomolgy
I'm very shock with this incident. This is a terrible and horrific tragedy. I would like to offer my deepest sympathies and sincere condolences to her family and friends. We all need to pray for her soul.😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
proof?
❤Palestine
before, they said she was 30.
Palestinians should blame Hamas for their contribution to the sufferings
Gaza you have air mail on the way
Wasnt Shani in the back of the truck, with those beasts holding her by a handful if her dreadlocked hair… is there something I am not understanding…
source: trust me bro
They actually found her. She was not beheaded. Please make a correction
Bulls*t. Israel has zero credibility. They get caught in lies over and over again.
What a liar
This is a lie they are lying
Bunch of lies
Where’s NBC’s retraction about Shani Louk’s alleged “beheading”, which literally never happened? Why is NBC keeping this video full of lies publicly accessible and unretracted?
I’m at a loss for words.. this is so horrific. I’m so sad for her and her loved ones. This is not new though for Muslims. They love to behead, it’s all over the shock sites. If it’s a beheading, they are Muslim.
Every single Palestinian has to hate and condemn Hamas ….
No one actually believed the IDF, it could have been the IDF that accidentally killed this women. They told us about the beheaded babies it turned out to be false.
Propaganda again…idf shoot bom hospital..but…never your post…opem your eyes human…if u think still human
Israel’s lies are catching up to them. We can’t trust our own news stations , it’s a shame
Just a simple question, proof of Beheading her…
And if you can't provide proof of her then provide the proof of 40 babies Beheaded or decapitated or killed…
This is enough to expose your hypocrisy and corruption…
Fake news! Fake News! You should be embarrassed to call yourselves journalist . The whole story is fake. Israel one source said this an extremism right wing settler claimed this. No proof except that the burnt bodies and destroyed homes were from Israel itself. Retract your story; state the truth. Disgusting corporate Media!
What about literally THOUSANDS of dead Palestinian children and babies???
