Hostage Video - Hamas Israel War
Background Information
Hamas on Monday night released the first clip showing an Israeli hostage being held by the terror group in the Gaza Strip, as it said some 200-250 captives were in the coastal enclave after Palestinian terrorists’ massive onslaught in southern Israel on October 7.
The short video showed a young woman, 21-year-old Mia Schem, being treated after she was wounded in her arm, and later speaking to the camera.
Schem was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists while participating in the desert rave in Kibbutz Re’im, where the gunmen killed over 260 festival-goers as part of the devastating massacre in which over 1,300 people were slain, the vast majority civilians.
She told the camera that she was operated on for three hours and that “I’m being cared for, I’m getting medications. I’m only asking to be returned home as soon as possible, to my family, to my parents, to my siblings. Please get me out of here as soon as possible.”
Schem’s family reacted to the clip, saying: “We’re happy.”
The New York Times said its analysis of metadata within the video file indicated that some of the footage was filmed at least six days ago.
Schem appears to have been singled out by Hamas since she is a dual Israeli-French citizen, and the terror group seems to want international audiences to think that it is not harming foreign nationals.
The Israel Defense Forces said Schem’s family had been notified last week that she was being held in Gaza.
The army said that in the video, Hamas “tries to present itself as a humanitarian organization, while in fact it is a murderous terror group, responsible for the murders and kidnappings of babies, women, children and the elderly.”

This is propaganda because
This is a news article that is skeptical of the truth and accuracy of the video that features the young hostage. It may function as educational by identifying hostage videos as propaganda. But it may also function as anti-Hamas propaganda, too, by calling into doubt the validity of the claims presented by the young hostage that she is being treated well.
