In a harrowing account of her captivity, an Israeli-French woman, Mia Shem, has shed light on the unimaginable horrors faced by hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Shem, who spent over 50 days in captivity, was kidnapped during the Nova Music Festival on October 7. During the ordeal, she endured a gunshot wound to her arm and underwent surgery in Gaza without the aid of pain medication.
Recalling her experience, Shem revealed that she spent much of her time in the custody of a Hamas member, accompanied by his wife and children. Contrary to any expectations of compassion, she described a complete absence of kindness throughout her stay. However, her plight worsened when she was transferred to the tunnels.
