Israel festivalgoer Shani Louk is alive, according to her mother ... this after her naked body was paraded through the streets and spat on by Hamas terrorists.

Louk's mother, Ricarda, said Tuesday that her family has received information that claims the 22-year-old is alive -- citing unnamed Palestinian sources as the origin of the info.

She told German news outlets that her daughter is currently in a Gaza hospital with serious head injuries ... and is asking the German government to act quickly to get her out of the conflict zone, adding "Every minute counts."

As we reported, Ricarda was pleading for anyone with information about her daughter to come forward ... after seeing the brutal video of Louk's naked body being paraded and spat on in the back of a Hamas pickup truck.

Ricarda was holding out hope for Louk, however -- claiming her daughter appeared to be unconscious in the clip, not dead. She did confirm that it was Louk in the video, saying she identified her by her tattoos and dreadlocks.

Remember, Louk was at the Tribe of Nova music festival close to the Gaza Strip on Saturday when Hamas attackers swarmed the event ... massacring those in the crowd and taking people like Louk hostage.

A pro-Palestinian protest in Australia had 1,000 supporters take to the Sydney Opera House ... chanting antisemitic slogans towards those in Israel like "Gas the Jews."

The crowd marched through downtown Sydney Monday evening, heading to the steps of the world-famous theater -- which Australian officials had lit the colors of the Israeli flag after the country was first attacked by Hamas terrorists on Saturday.

Anti-Semitic chants were heard throughout the protest -- apart from "Gas the Jews," they were also chanting "F*** the Jews" while flying Palestinian flags.

The group lit flares in the middle of the crowd and even appeared to throw what looked like a smoke grenade toward officers stationed on the Opera House steps.

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called Monday's protest "horrific," adding, "I understand that people have deep views about issues relating to the Middle East conflict but here in Australia we have to deal with political discourse in a respectful way."

New South Wales police said Tuesday the footage is being investigated to determine if any crimes were committed.

An Israeli woman was able to stave off her murder at the hands of Hamas terrorists by killing them with kindness ... quite literally.

Rachel Edri is being hailed as a hero across Israel right now because of this harrowing story she recently recounted about being taken hostage by 5 Hamas members on Saturday morning ... when the surprise attack against her country was carried out.

She and her husband, who live in Ofakim, were held at gunpoint after the Hamas members stormed their home -- but she was able to keep them at bay for about 15 hours due to her incredible hospitality ... something she dished out as a way to distract the intruders.

You see ... one of Rachel's kids was a cop, and once he caught wind of his parents' situation -- he rounded up other officers and, while negotiating with the terrorists, scoped out the place to find a way to rescue his family. In the meantime, Mama Bear was playing a good host ... feeding the Hamas guys while also trying to chat them up with banter and conversation, all in an effort to stall.

Rachel, who's a grandmother, says she served coffee and cookies during the standoff, and apparently, it worked -- because when her son and the other officers eventually stormed the place, the terrorists were all stuffing their faces and weren't able to fire back. They were all killed on sight.

More nightmarish images have emerged showing the Hamas-led massacre of concertgoers at the Supernova Festival in Israel.

Dash cam video from a car at the event captured footage of the terrorist group carrying out Saturday's sneak attack that left 260 people brutally murdered.

The clip starts with a Hamas militant holding a terrified man from behind with his hands raised and marching him away to an almost certain death.

Another terrorist -- armed with a machine gun -- sees one of the festival attendees hiding in a ditch near the trunk of a second car. He rushes over and pumps bullets into the pit, apparently killing the person.

The video then cuts to several other terrorists yanking a helpless woman from the backseat of the second car and escorting her away.

One of the terrorists then removes luggage from the trunk of a third vehicle and rummages through the bag, throwing clothes on the ground before the clip ends.

As you already know, Hamas terrorists launched a full-scale assault on Israel around dawn Saturday.

The terrorists broke through barriers separating the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip from the Jewish state, putting the festival under siege for hours. They moved on to other parts of Israel, leveling buildings with rockets and going house to house to fatally shoot men, women and children.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promptly declared war against Hamas, and the two sides have been battling each other for days now.

Una protesta pro-palestina en Australia reunió a 1.000 simpatizantes en la Casa de la Ópera de Sydney, quienes corearon consignas antisemitas como "gas a los judíos".

La multitud marchó por el centro de Sydney el lunes por la noche hasta las escaleras del teatro. Los funcionarios habían encendido los colores de la bandera israelí después de que el país fuera atacado por primera vez por terroristas de Hamás el sábado.

Durante toda la protesta cantaron consignas antisemitas: además de "gas a los judíos", corearon cosas como "f*** a los judíos" (que se jodan los judíos) mientras ondeaban banderas palestinas.

El grupo encendió bengalas en medio de la multitud e incluso lanzó lo que parecía ser una granada de humo contra los agentes apostados en la escalinata de la Ópera.

El primer ministro australiano Anthony Albanese calificó la protesta de "horrible" y añadió: "Entiendo que la gente tenga opiniones profundas sobre cuestiones relacionadas con el conflicto de Medio Oriente, pero aquí en Australia tenemos que abordar el discurso político de forma respetuosa."

La policía de Nueva Gales del Sur dijo el martes que las imágenes están siendo investigadas para determinar si se cometió algún delito.

Más imágenes de pesadilla han aparecido en las últimas horas, las que muestran la masacre dirigida por Hamás contra los asistentes a un concierto en el Festival Supernova de Israel.

El video registrado por la cámara de un carro que se encontraba en el evento captó imágenes del grupo terrorista llevando a cabo el furtivo ataque este sábado, que dejó a 260 personas brutalmente asesinadas.

El video comienza cuando un militante de Hamás sujeta por la espalda a un hombre aterrorizado y se lo lleva hacia lo que casi seguramente será su muerte.

Otro terrorista armado con una ametralladora ve a uno de los asistentes al festival escondido en una zanja cerca del maletero de un segundo carro. Luego se acerca corriendo y dispara contra el foso, aparentemente matando a la persona.

A continuación, el video muestra cómo otros terroristas sacan a una mujer indefensa del asiento trasero del segundo carro y se la llevan.

A continuación, uno de los terroristas saca el equipaje del maletero de un tercer vehículo y rebusca en la bolsa, tirando la ropa al suelo antes de que termine el clip.

Como ya saben, el grupo terrorista Hamás lanzó un asalto a gran escala contra Israel en la madrugada del sábado.

Los terroristas rompieron las barreras que separan la Franja de Gaza, gobernada por Hamás, del Estado judío, y sitiaron el festival durante horas. Se desplazaron a otras partes de Israel, arrasando edificios con cohetes y yendo casa por casa para disparar mortalmente a hombres, mujeres y niños.

El Primer Ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu, no tardó en declarar la guerra a Hamás y ambos bandos llevan días enfrentándose.

Kylie Jenner está recibiendo apoyo de las organizaciones judías en Estados Unidos por su post pro-Israel en redes sociales y esas mismas organizaciones están destrozando a los que la avergonzaron para que borrara el post.

Este es el asunto; Kylie compartió y luego borró un post de StandWithUs tras el mortal ataque terrorista de Hamás el fin de semana, volviendo a publicar una imagen de la bandera israelí con la leyenda, "Ahora y siempre, estamos con el pueblo de Israel!".

Luego de toneladas de reacciones en los comentarios, Kylie finalmente borró el post de su Instagram.

Roz Rothstein, cofundador y CEO de StandWithUs, le dijo a TMZ que mientras que la organización se complace con la acción de Kylie, "Es una lástima que algunas personas no pueden expresarse con honestidad debido a la intensa presión y la intimidación por parte de simpatizantes de Hamás".

Kylie no fue ni mucho menos la única celebridad que expresó su apoyo a Israel tras el atentado terrorista del 11-S, Gal Gadot, Bono, Sarah Silverman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Amy Schumer, Madonna, Natalie Portman y Mark Hamill también salieron enérgicamente a favor de los israelíes.

Es por eso que la gente del Comité Judío Americano dice que eso es una guerra en toda regla y que es un momento para utilizar a las celebridades para el bien.

El portavoz de AJC Richard Hirschhaut le informa a TMZ que Kylie "hizo lo correcto y actuó con el corazón con su post inicial" y ella "debe ser aplaudida por hablar".

En cambio, el AJC dice que Kylie se convirtió en "un tema de desprecio vicioso y feo" y la organización espera que ella ponga el post de nuevo en su IG porque "el poder de los medios sociales y el poder de la celebridad se necesita desesperadamente en este momento en que Israel está en guerra y bajo el ataque de una organización terrorista que es bárbara, inhumana e inmoral".

Además de Kylie, el AJC hace un llamando a "personas influyentes de todo el mundo para demostrar coraje y aumentar la moral mediante el apoyo a Israel".

La organización judía dice que los terroristas de Hamás están utilizando las redes sociales para mostrar su "absoluta barbarie" y cree que las celebridades con grandes seguidores deben utilizar sus plataformas para contraatacar con mensajes de amor, apoyo y solidaridad con Israel.

Kylie Jenner is getting support from Jewish organizations in America for her pro-Israel social media post ... and those same orgs are ripping those who shamed her into deleting that post.

As we've reported, Kylie shared and then deleted a post from StandWithUs on Sunday morning, following the deadly Hamas terrorist attack ... she reposted an image of the Israeli flag with the caption, "Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel!"

But, following tons of backlash in the comments, Kylie pretty quickly 86'd the post.

Roz Rothstein, co-founder and CEO of StandWithUs, tells TMZ ... while the org is pleased Kylie reposted their account in the first place, "It's a shame that some people cannot express themselves honestly because of intense pressure and intimidation by Hamas sympathizers."

Kylie was far from the only celeb expressing support for Israel in the wake of the 9/11-type terrorist attack ... Gal Gadot, Bono, Sarah Silverman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Amy Schumer, Madonna, Natalie Portman and Mark Hamill also came out strong for Israel.

The folks over at the American Jewish Committee say the now full-blown war between Israel and Hamas provides a moment where celebrity can be used for good.

AJC spokesman Richard Hirschhaut tells TMZ  ... Kylie "did the right thing and acted with her heart with her initial post" and she "should be applauded for speaking up and speaking out."

He says the exact opposite happened, as Kylie became "a subject of vicious and ugly scorn" ... but he hopes she puts the post back on her IG, because "the power of social media and the power of celebrity is desperately needed at this moment when Israel is at war and under attack by a terrorist organization that is barbaric, inhumane and immoral."

In addition to Kylie, the AJC is calling for "influencers across the spectrum to demonstrate moral courage and amplify moral clarity by supporting Israel's high moral ground."

The Jewish org says Hamas terrorists are using social media to show their "sheer barbarity" ... and it feels celebs with large followings should use their platforms to push back with messages of love, support and solidarity with Israel.

Mia Khalifa has kissed her deal with Playboy goodbye ... the adult entertainment brand dropped her after sharing her controversial thoughts about the Israel-Hamas attacks.

Playboy sent out an email to its subscribers Monday, after Mia expressed her pro-Hamas thoughts online -- the company said, "Mia has made disgusting and reprehensible comments celebrating Hamas’ attacks on Israel and the murder of innocent men, women and children."

It goes on to say the company encourages free speech and expression ... but adds, "We have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech." Playboy says it's terminated its relationship with her, "including deleting Mia’s Playboy channel on our creator platform."

The former porn star-turned-influencer has been scrubbed from the company's Centerfold platform ... her page has been replaced with a simple "Not Found" graphic.

As we reported, Mia caught heat over the weekend, as Israel was being attacked by Hamas terrorists ... writing things like, "Tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal."

Despite the hate she got, Mia doubled down -- writing, "I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists."

Mia Khalifa se está despidiendo de su acuerdo con Playboy. La marca de entretenimiento para adultos decidió prescindir de ella luego de que compartiera sus polémicos pensamientos sobre los ataques de Hamás a Israel.

Playboy envió un correo electrónico a sus suscriptores el lunes, después de que Mia expresara sus pensamientos pro-Hamas en las redes. La empresa dijo: "Mia ha hecho comentarios repugnantes y censurables celebrando los ataques de Hamás contra Israel y el asesinato de hombres, mujeres y niños inocentes."

Continúa diciendo que ellos fomentan la libertad de expresión, pero tienen "una política de tolerancia cero con el discurso de odio". Luego dice que terminaron su relación con ella, "incluyendo la eliminación del canal Playboy de Mia en nuestra plataforma de creadores."

La ex estrella porno convertida en influencer fue borrada de la plataforma Centerfold de la compañía. Su página ha sido sustituida por un simple gráfico de "No encontrado".

Como informamos, Mia recibió una oleada de críticas durante el fin de semana, en medio de los ataques de Hamás a Israel. Escribió cosas como: "Díganle a quienes luchan por la libertad en Palestina que volteen sus teléfonos y filmen en horizontal".

A pesar del odio que recibió, Mia redobló su apuesta, escribiendo: "Diría que apoyar a Palestina me ha hecho perder oportunidades laborales, pero estoy más enfadada conmigo misma por no comprobar si hacía negocios con sionistas".

Las estrellas más importantes de Hollywood han mostrado su apoyo a Israel en el actual conflicto de Oriente Medio, pero casi ninguna ha respaldado a Palestina, al menos públicamente.

Durante todo el fin de semana se han sucedido los homenajes en las redes sociales, hablando del violento enfrentamiento y denunciando el ataque terrorista de Hamás contra Israel. Algunas de las celebridades que han expresado su solidaridad con Israel incluyen Gal Gadot, Madonna, Ashley Tisdale, Mark Hamill, Amy Schumer, Natalie Portman, Kris Jenner, Jamie Lee Curtis y más.

Mientras que muchas de estas personas famosas están publicando simples mensajes de "Estamos con Israel", otros están ofreciendo una visión un poco más matizada, diciendo que es razonable estar en desacuerdo con el trato de Israel a los palestinos y repudiar la violencia desquiciada contra los ciudadanos israelíes.

Ese es un sentimiento que ha sido ampliamente adoptado por la gente en los últimos tiempos y hemos estado viendo que se refleja en las calles de todo EE.UU. con muchos estadounidenses ondeando banderas palestinas y gritando "Palestina libre". Sin embargo, en lo que respecta a Hollywood, no son muchos los que adoptan una postura tan firme al respecto, a excepción de unos pocos elegidos como Mia Khalifa, etc.

Hay dos personas en concreto de las que muchos famosos esperan noticias y son Gigi y Bella Hadid, que han permanecido en silencio a pesar de que han apoyado abiertamente a Palestina a lo largo de los años y simpatizan con su causa.

Es interesante... el hecho de que no han hablado parece haber erizado las plumas en Hollywood, con la actriz Sara Foster aparentemente llamando la atención pero sin dar nombres.

Ella escribe: "Ver a influencers palestinos aquí negarse a denunciar a Hamás, negarse a hablar en contra del tratamiento bárbaro de los niños, negarse a esperar la paz, todo mientras viven en la comodidad de los EE.UU. con cero intención de estar alguna vez en Palestina porque nunca podrían ser abiertamente homosexuales o publicar abiertamente sus fotos en bikini no es, por desgracia, chocante. Es fácil ser franco desde la comodidad de tu cálida cama democrática." Suena bastante relacionado con Hadid.

Curiosamente, algunos han especulado que la relación con Hadid puede ser la razón por la que Kylie Jenner publicó y luego borró su Instagram "Apoya a Israel" este fin de semana.

Claramente, este es un tema divisivo a la vez que delicado. Casi todas las figuras públicas están enviando sus pensamientos y oraciones a las personas inocentes que están siendo empujadas a esta pesadilla.

La fragilidad de la vida y la muerte en tiempos de guerra se vio reflejada en televisión cuando Clarissa Ward, de CNN, evitó por poco los cohetes de Hamás que volaron sobre su cabeza.

Clarissa y su equipo se encuentran cerca de un paso fronterizo entre Israel y Gaza, y mientras informaban el lunes sobre un reciente ataque de Hamás tuvieron que zambullirse en una zanja para evitar la artillería.

Se puede ver y oír cómo los proyectiles silban sobre ellos y explotan peligrosamente cerca.

Siguieron grabando durante el ataque y finalmente acabaron en directo en la CNN, describiendo el "aluvión masivo de cohetes" dirigidos contra su posición.

Una vez que el bombardeo se detuvo, Clarissa salió de la zanja y mostró el lugar donde Hamás recientemente había disparado contra civiles y tomando rehenes para llevarlos de vuelta a través de la frontera con Gaza.

Hollywood's biggest stars have come out in support of Israel amid their ongoing conflict in the Middle East -- but there are hardly any backing Palestine ... at least not publicly.

The A-list crowd has been pouring out with social media tributes all weekend -- speaking on the violent clash ... and denouncing the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas. Some of those celebs who've voiced their solidarity with Israel include Gal Gadot, Madonna, Ashley Tisdale, Scooter Braun, Mark Hamill, Amy Schumer, Natalie Portman, Kris Jenner, Jamie Lee Curtis and more.

While a lot of these famous folks are posting simple "We Stand With Israel" messages -- others are offering a bit more of a nuanced take ... saying it's reasonable to both disagree with Israel's treatment of Palestinians AND disavow the unhinged violence on Israeli citizens.

That's a sentiment that's been widely embraced by people of late ... and we've been seeing that reflected in streets all over the U.S. -- with many Americans waving Palestinian flags and screaming "Free Palestine." As far as Hollywood's concerned though ... not very many are taking that firm of a stance on the issue -- save for a select few like Mia Khalifa, etc.

There's 2 people, specifically, a lot of celebs are waiting to hear from ... and that would be Gigi and Bella Hadid, both of whom have remained silent -- this despite the fact they've been very vocal supporters of Palestine over the years, and sympathetic to their cause.

It's interesting ... the fact they haven't spoken up seems to have ruffled feathers in H'wood, with actress Sara Foster apparently calling them out -- but without naming names.

She writes, "Watching Palestinian influencers on here refuse to denounce hamas, refuse to speak out against the barbaric treatment of children, refuse to hope for peace, all while living in the comfort of the US with zero intention of ever being in Palestine because they could never be openly gay or openly post their bikini pics is sadly not shocking. It's easy to be outspoken from the comfort of your warm democratic bed." Sure sounds Hadid-related.

Interestingly enough, some have speculated the Hadid connection may be why Kylie Jenner posted but then deleted her "Support Israel" Instagram this weekend. She's pals with them.

In any case, it's clearly a divisive issue ... but just about every public figure is sending their thoughts and prayers to the innocent people being thrust into the middle of this nightmare.

The life-and-death nature of reporting from the frontlines in Israel is playing out on TV ... as CNN's Clarissa Ward narrowly avoids Hamas rockets flying overhead.

Clarissa and her crew are right near a border crossing between Israel and Gaza, and as they were reporting Monday on a recent Hamas attack, they had to dive into a ditch to avoid the incoming artillery.

You can see and hear the shells whistle overhead and explode dangerously close to them.

They kept recording right through the strike, and eventually ended up live on CNN, describing the "massive barrage of rockets" aimed at their position.

Once the shelling stopped, she got out of the ditch and showed the roadway where Hamas had recently driven through ... firing on civilians, and then taking hostages and driving them back across the border into Gaza.

Former porn star-turned-influencer Mia Khalifa is catching heat online after voicing support for the people of Palestine on the heels of the deadly Hamas attacks that sparked the intensifying war with Israel.

Mia shared her controversial thoughts online over the weekend, as Israel declared a state of war after the Hamas attack ... saying a slew of things not in favor of the people of Israel.

She tweeted, "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal," and, "I just wanna make sure there’s 4k footage of my people breaking down the walls of the open air prison they’ve been forced out of their homes and into so we have good options for the history books."

Mia, who is Lebanese, faced backlash for her comments against Israel, but she doubled down ... writing, "I’d say supporting Palestine has lost me business opportunities, but I’m more angry at myself for not checking whether or not I was entering into business with Zionists."

She also claimed those who look at the incident and aren't siding with Palestinians are "on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time." Still, folks online are ripping into her stance.

As you know, the Hamas attack on Israel went down Saturday, with the death toll reportedly reaching 700 victims as of Monday amid the massive destruction.

Drake has a huge sales week on the horizon, but isn't ready to let bygones be bygones over Joe Budden's scathing critique of his new album, "For All the Dogs," and his boyish lifestyle!!!

Drake threw another shot Monday at JB, clowning him for having a bulletproof fedora case and his podcast career ... "I thank god for this life and not having to come to rushed conclusions on Best Buy podcast mics."

HitsDD is projecting Drake to have his biggest opening week since 2021 -- evidence fans weren't digging that dance album that much -- yet, he's still distracted by Budden enough to spend the weekend duking it out with him.

The Canadian rapper went out of his way to discredit Budden's podcast cohost/engineer Parks Vallely, essentially labeling him "cool as Mark Zuckerberg," to which Parks might have trumped Drake with his response -- revealing he actually worked on Drake's 2016 "Scorpion" album.

JB was basking in yet another level-up for his podcast in the wake of his Drake beef ... posting how his anti-"Dogs" episode was competing in the global news market against Israel vs. Hamas and Donald Trump. Hyperbole's also good ratings.

Whether fans hated it or loved it, the new album could be Drake's last offering for a while ... he says stomach issues have been holding him back for some time now.
