Mia Shem, a 21-year-old from Shoham, Israel, is seen in the video with her arm bandaged, making an emotional plea to be reunited with her family.
This footage was made public on Hamas’ Telegram channel on Monday, October 16. In the video, Mia Shem explained that Hamas had provided medical treatment for her injured hand at a hospital in Gaza and assured that the militant group has been taking care of her, even supplying necessary medications.

Mia Shem’s plea for her safe return has amplified the ongoing concerns surrounding this harrowing event.
“I returned early Saturday morning from Sderot; I was at a party. I was seriously injured in my hand. I underwent surgery on my hand at the hospital for 3 hours.”

During a heartfelt interview with Katie Couric last week, Karen Shem, a distraught mother, expressed her deep concerns for her missing daughter, Mia, who disappeared in the aftermath of the Palestine militants’ attack on the Supernova Music Festival on October 7, 2023.
Karen Shem, in her conversation with Katie Couric, painted a touching portrait of her daughter, describing Mia as a sagacious and creative individual with a passion for painting. Mia’s artistic pursuits were an integral part of her identity. Karen, a single mother, further revealed that Mia had a strong bond with her siblings, a sister and two brothers, and played an instrumental role in raising them. The interview shed light on the close-knit nature of the Shem family and the profound impact of Mia’s absence on their lives.
“I don’t know where my baby is. I really don’t have any clue. I’m begging the national authorities to ask for something very simple to give us a list of all citizens you take. Tell us who you’ve got.”

“In the video published by Hamas, they try to portray themselves as humane.

At this time, we are deploying all intelligence and operational measures for the return of all hostages—including Mia.”
