Before she began to hope that Mia and Bella had been driven to the Gaza Strip together and that the teenager would therefore have some real comfort with her.
The newspaper says that the girl, along with her mother, had visited her aunt’s house with her little dog in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak when they were taken hostage. The three women were released yesterday.
The animal’s fate was not revealed until last night when it appeared in Mia’s arms, flanked by two hooded men, members of the two Palestinian Islamist movements, Hamas on the one hand and Islamic Jihad on the other, as she was being handed over to International Committee of the Red Cross.
