"Freed Israeli Hostage Mia Schem Recounts 'Hellish' Gaza Ordeal and Criticizes Western Naivety"

Mia Schem, a 21-year-old Israeli-French woman, was held hostage by Hamas militants after being captured during an attack on a rave near the Gaza border. She feared sexual assault by her captor while being held in his home, despite the presence of his wife and children. Schem was released after a ceasefire and initially stated she was well-treated, but later revealed the psychological torment she endured, including being denied food and the hostile treatment from the captor's wife. Her friend Elia Toledano, who was abducted with her, was killed, with his death currently under investigation by the Israeli military.
