From our special correspondant in Tel Aviv – Hamas militants broadcast a video late Monday of 21-year-old Mia, one of the almost 200 hostages the group has been holding since its October 7 attack. FRANCE 24 spoke to Mia’s mother, Keren Schem, who is hoping for a quick resolution of her daughter’s plight.
Mia is seen receiving medical treatment for her arm, then facing the camera. She states her identity and says she has had surgery. It was the first proof of life since her kidnapping, broadcast on Hamas’s Telegram account. A Franco-Israeli citizen, Mia was kidnapped at the Supernova music festival along with dozens of others.
