Released Hostage Mia Shem Opens Up About Gaza Captivity: 'Everyone There Is a Terrorist'"It's important to me to reveal the truth about the people who live in Gaza, about who they really are ... There was an operation room. No anesthesia, no nothing. I was choking on my own tears..." -Mia Shem
"It's important to me to reveal the truth about the people who live in Gaza, about who they really are," Shem says in a preview of an interview with Israel's Channel 13 News, set to air on Thursday evening. "I went through a Shoah (holocaust)," Shem told the broadcaster, adding: "Everyone there [in Gaza] is a terrorist.

Why are there children here? Why is there a wife here?" she explained. In a separate interview with Channel 12 News scheduled to air on Friday evening, Shem recalls how Hamas terrorists abducted her to the Strip during the Islamist group's Oct. 7 massacre at the Supernova music festival in Israel's northwestern Negev. "The floor was splattered with blood and I yelled in pain, 'I lost my arm!'" she told the network's primetime "Ulpan Shishi" program, according to a clip posted to X (formerly Twitter). "He [a Hamas terrorist] started touching the upper part of my body. Suddenly, someone grabbed my hair, pulled me in a car and drove to Gaza. I felt like an animal in a zoo." 'I was choking on my own tears ... ' During Shem's 54 days in Hamas captivity, a veterinarian operated on the bullet wound she sustained to her hand at the music festival, her aunt said late last month. "There was an operation room. No anesthesia, no nothing. I was choking on my own tears. Then he looked at me and said, 'Enough, or I'll send you down to the tunnel,'" Shem recalled in the Channel 12 interview. Shem, a 21-year-old dual Israeli-French citizen, was released on Nov. 30 as part of the temporary hostages-for-ceasefire deal agreed to by Israel and Hamas. On Oct. 16, Hamas released a propaganda video featuring Shem, one of the approximately 240 people taken hostage during its Oct. 7 attacks, which left more than 1,200 dead and thousands wounded. In the video, Shem can be seen apparently receiving treatment for a severe wound. "I'm Mia Shem, 21 years old from Shoham. Currently, I'm in Gaza. I returned early Saturday morning from Sderot—I was at a party. I was seriously injured in my hand," she says in the clip. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
