Safe with her family is Mia Shem, the 21-year-old French-Israeli woman who was abducted by Hamas gunmen from the Supernova music festival on October 7.

Touching photos of the reunification of Mia Shem with her family at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, the office of the Prime Minister of Israel published on the X platform.

This is one of a total of eight hostages who were released by the Islamist Palestinian organization yesterday.

About a month ago, Hamas released video of Shem speaking to the camera and begging her to return to Israel and her family as soon as possible. She had injured her hand and emphasized that she had undergone surgery. Images shared by the organization showed a member of medical staff tending to her wound – but his face was not seen on camera.

The Israeli television network “Channel 12” broadcast, yesterday, a video in which we see Mia Shem’s mother, Keren, crying while holding the phone and rushing to the arms of her children when she learned that Mia was freed. “Mia is coming home,” he said while the 21-year-old’s father, David, speaking to the same television network, he emphasized that “first her mom will fall on her and then I will approach her and hold her in my arms. I won’t talk… I don’t want to ask questions. I don’t know what happened.”

With her announcement, Mia’s family thanks everyone who worked for her release and asks for ‘peace and quiet’ the next few days during which Shem will remain in the hospital to receive the necessary medical help she needs until she returns home again.

Mia was at the Supernova music festival on the morning of October 7th in which hundreds were killed and from which 40 were kidnapped. He had completed military service, was attending tattooing classes and lived in the city of Mazor, east of Tel Aviv. “She is a young girl who wanted to have fun and dance,” her mother told France Info.
