The mother of Shani Louk, a 22-year-old German national believed to have been abducted by Hamas fighters during their recent surprise attack on Israel, has received confirmation that her daughter is alive.

The incident occurred during the Tribe of Supernova music festival in the Negev Desert near the Gaza Strip, where Hamas fighters stormed the event, resulting in multiple abductions and deaths.

After initial fears that Shani Louk might have been killed, new information has emerged&nbsp;that she might be alive, her mother told&nbsp;Swiss German-language news website Blick.&nbsp;

<h2>The shocking abduction</h2>

Shani Louk, a tattoo artist, was among the attendees at the music festival when Hamas fighters abruptly raided the area.

Witnesses reported that she was seized by the militants and paraded through the streets in the back of a pickup truck.

Her mother, Ricarda, had initially feared the worst after viewing a video in which Shani was unconscious in a car, abducted by Hamas fighters.

The family identified her in the footage through her distinctive dreadlocks and tattoos. In her plea for help, Shani's mother sought any information or assistance related to her daughter's situation.

On Tuesday (Oct 10), Shani Louk's family shared a glimmer of hope, announcing that they had received evidence confirming her survival. Swiss German-language news website Blick reported that Shani's mother revealed her daughter's presence in a Gaza hospital, where she is being treated for severe head injuries.

While this development brings relief, Shani's condition is reported to be critical, necessitating swift action and support from the German government.

"Every minute counts," said&nbsp;Shani's mother.
