Hamas releases two hostages including Mia Schem, 21, who was paraded in first horror ‘proof of life’ vid after massacre
HAMAS has released two hostages including 21-year-old Mia Schem who was paraded in the first ‘proof of life’ video after the October 7 massacre.
The Israeli-French national was freed alongside 40-year-old Amit Soussana and were handed to the Red Cross in Gaza.
“A short while ago, Red Cross representatives transferred two Israeli released hostages to IDF special forces and ISA forces adjacent to the security fence with the Gaza Strip,” a statement read.
It added that they would be transferred to the Hatzerim Base for medical checks.
Israel said more hostages are expected to be released later in the evening, following a last-minute deal struck by Israel and Hamas.
Mia Schem, 21, was one of over 190 people kidnapped by Hamas from the Supernova music festival on October 7.
She was seen pleading to be released in a video released by the terror group ten days after the atrocity.
The 21-year-old was shown receiving medical care for her wounded arm before telling the camera she was being held in Gaza and pleading for her release.
Following the release of the sick footage, her devastated mum begged the world “help bring my baby home.”
