Mia was at the Nova festival with her boyfriend Elio. “I had a bad feeling from the start. I couldn’t enjoy it (the festival),” Šemová began, describing the hours before the attack by the terrorist movement Hamas.
“Terrorists started shooting at us out of nowhere. murder people. “Elio and I were among the first to escape,” Mia explained. “We got in the car. I was driving under a lot of pressure. After a while, Elie started shouting at me that they (terrorists) were going to shoot at us,” she continued.
At that moment, Mia “stepped” on it and tried to drive through the terrorists. “But then they shot out the tires. “The car started throwing us around and eventually stopped,” she said.
“A car with terrorists drove past us. They climbed out and one of them shot me in the hand. “It partially detached from my body,” said Šemová. “I was waiting for the massacre to end,” she added.
She played dead
Shortly after Mia was shot by a Hamas militant, she fell to the ground and decided to play dead. Cars were burning around her, so she eventually had to move and seek help.
According to them, a man was walking near the flames. He offered to help her. “He was a terrorist. He immediately started touching my upper body. “I was screaming hysterically,” she said. However, after a few seconds, the terrorist noticed the injured hand. “It scared him and he stopped after a while. But he called a car,” she added.
Finally, another terrorist got out of the vehicle and dragged her into the car by her hair. “And then I arrived in Gaza,” she explained. “I was awake but I didn’t know what was going on. All I could think about was that I didn’t want to die,” she continued.

“They threw me into a dark room and put a bandage on my arm. So I spent three days,” Šemová described. After three days, they took them to a house where they continued to be held hostage. “It was the home of a terrorist who was in the car with me (who kidnapped her from Israeli territory to Gaza),” she continued.
In this house, too, Mia was locked in a dark room. “I could not speak. No one could see or hear me. I was completely hidden,” she added.
“I was afraid he would rape me. That was my biggest fear. His wife was not far from this room. “That was the only reason he didn’t rape me,” said Mia, who has Israeli and French citizenship, describing her greatest fear.
After another three days, the terrorist took her to the hospital, where a doctor treated her injured hand. “He dressed me in hijab and niqab and took me to the hospital ward. “I didn’t understand what was going on,” she said, adding that she was “sedated” and didn’t wake up until after surgery.
“I saw that my hand was bandaged and restrained with iron bars,” she said.
“Say you’re fine here!”
Shortly after the operation, the terrorists forced her to make a video in which they asked her to say that she was fine and that she was fine. “I did what they told me. I was afraid for my life,” she explained.
In the video published by the terrorist movement Hamas, Mia Šemová can be seen receiving treatment. “I am in Gaza.” They treated me and performed an operation that lasted three hours. Everything is fine and I just ask that you take me home as soon as possible and return me to my family. Please get us out of here as quickly as possible,” Mia said in the propaganda video.
Mia was off medication for the entire 55 days and barely slept. “I slept a maximum of one hour a day. “You can’t sleep when a terrorist is looking at you,” she said.

Fearing that the terrorist would rape or kill her, Mia decided to befriend him. “Once he told me about problems with his wife. “He told me he didn’t love her anymore,” Shemova told Israeli television.
She adopted a similar strategy even after being moved to another house where four terrorists lived. She told one of them what she should buy at the market so she could cook for them. “I cooked for them. To respect me. You can appreciate a woman who cooks and cleans,” she said.
In the last four or five days the terrorists have taken them into the tunnels under Gaza. “When they sent me into the tunnels, I thought I would never get out,” she continued.
“I had no air, no food and no medical care,” she said, adding that she was held in a 2.5 square meter room along with “six to seven other hostages.”

The editor asked the freed woman when the terrorists told her she was going home. “Five minutes before. The terrorist said to me, ‘You, Israel,'” she said.
“I didn’t believe it until I got into an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) vehicle, crossed the Gaza border and entered Israeli territory,” she explained.
But before the terrorists handed her over to the Red Cross, whose staff later handed her over to the IDF, Hamas members filmed her and again forced her to say that they had treated her well. “They told me to say that they had treated me well and that the people of Gaza were nice and decent,” she said.
When Mia got home she couldn’t believe it was over. “I couldn’t believe I still had my arm. That I am here with my family,” she concluded her statement.
