This is the shocking moment Mia Shem’s mother breaks down in tears at the news that her daughter, held hostage by Hamas, will be freed today.

Mia Shem, 21, a dual French-Israeli national, was abducted by Hamas at the Supernova music festival in southern Israel on October 7.

Soon after, Hamas released a video in which Mia appeared with an injured hand. The video also showed her being treated for her injury and asking in Hebrew to return to her family as soon as possible.

Mia went to the Supernova party with her good friend Elia Tolentano, 27, who was also kidnapped and is believed to still be held captive by Hamas.
