Hamas has released its first video of a hostage, sharing footage from 21-year-old French woman Mia Shem.
“Hi, I’m Mia Shem, 21 years old from Shoham,” she says in the video.
“Currently, I’m in Gaza. 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 [in Gaza] for 3 hours. They are taking care of me, giving me medicine, everything is fine. I only ask that they bring me home as soon as possible to my parents, to my siblings. Get me out of here as soon as possible. Please.”
